Well after a nightmare of cuts and bruises because the kit is such a tight install....i finally started it up. Everything fit like it's supposed to, but my god this is the tightest install ever. Here are some of the pics. Tonight i just have a few things to tie wrap, heat wrap, and triple check. I'm still waiting on the wastegate to get here so i can officially wrap it up. Well here ya go.
The main exhaust tubing from downpipe to Y pipe.
This is off the driver side header. U shaped tube that connect the two headers to the up pipe. THis is also where the wastegate is...TIGHT FITTTT! !
This runs from the header "U" tube over the K member to the turbo mounting flange.
Ready to Drop in.
This is the turbo installed with the downpipe mounted. Downpipe runs over the k member near the a/c compressor.
Intercooler mounted and tubing to intake and from turbo. the inlet is the passenger side....and out to intake is on the driver side.
It's pretty much finished up. I'll post the pics of the bumper on and the pretty much finished product tomorrow. Kinda late and i don't feel like uploading more pics. Everything fit perfect. I really can't compare this to hellion on the 06's. These cars are completely different. :beer:
op:
By the way.........the instructions for the kit were absolutely horrible. I'm going to send hp some pics and a possible write up for future reference. If you don't have turbo install experience, i would NOT wanna install this kit unless you have a decent amount of down time.
