[QUOTE="CSG, post: 13255261, member: 54018"] For anyone thinking of purchasing one of these kits I'll give my opinion. Right or wrong I call it how I see it. Installation is not terrible but several items are quite frustrating. Namely the passenger side turbo mount V-band mostly. The steering shaft was no big deal once I figured out that I had to modify the bracket (grind one side down and elongate a slot). The kit is compromised by the intent of not cutting the car up. If I were to remove /reinstall this kit there are places where I would trim the car and modify the kits parts. I have mig/tig/plasma, etc. so thats easy enough. The other compromises are the brake lines and A/C lines and a small bit of wiring. A kit at this pricepoint should include new lines for these with a design to keep them farther away from the hot parts. Time will tell how long the original pieces live, but I feel their life has been shortened significantly. Did I mention that you can't access the dipstick... That sucks. For what ever reason I found this install more frustrating then the 4 to 8 conversion in my coupe which to this point was the biggest hassle I have had with mustangs. I guess I expected this to be similiar to a supercharger install (I've done 9 of those) and it definetly was more involved then that. [/QUOTE]
