is this the correct kit you are talking about to retain both a/c and sway bar?

THP twin kit problems.

I thought you were looking for a twin setup. They have new headers that work in a twin setup that retains everything. You could email them and ask if it could be made to work in a single kit.
Oh no yeah sorry,,Im looking for a single setup
A few other issues along the way.
Car is currently coming apart and getting ready for a different setup, the kit has been found unusable and is currently being handled legally. I know some people will chime in and say its the k-member but the pics speak for themselves and the k-member is fine. I have attached a couple more pics, the first pic is the intercooler to intake pipe and how it lines up to the intercooler and the bov location. I don't feel like cutting a hole in the side of my bumper cover.
The second pic is the turbo to intercooler pipe, it runs directly into the lower intercooler outlet.
These pics are the drivers header, lots of holes and lack of room to get bolts in the flange. Flange is warped almost 3/16 of an inch, welding quality is unacceptable and header is unusable.

Another pic of header
Pics of drivers up pipe, the flange is warped also and the tire hits it when turned. The flange surface is extremely rough, nothing would seal without having it machined. The angle of the flange is way off and the turbo would be on an angle in the engine bay. Passenger side is threaded but drivers is not, unusable.

That's some fubar looking shit. Are those headers used? Looks like an old header that was starting to get holes blown in it was re-coated? There is no way I'd put that on my car. I'd be pissed if I bought a turbo kit that looked and fit like that. Don't let this discourage you, get that CG kit and don't look back!
That's no bueno. I don't think I would have even attempted to install it. It's a shame because it's such a pretty kit setup when not welded on a Monday (or by a bird's ass).
Sucks but once I would if seen the used oil line I would have sent everything back .
LoL at the welds .. Smh
LoL at the welds .. Smh
Holy ****. I think I've welded better while being attacked by a pitbull with a steak hanging off my junk... Wtf
That is the replacement header and up pipe as the original didn't fit. I tried sending the kit back and he said there would be a 30% restocking fee and deductions for missing parts that I didn't even receive. In other words I wouldn't get anything back from him so I took it up through Visa.
I think you made a good call by contacting Visa. I wouldn't pay that much money for something that looked like that. I would refuse to pay a restocking fee as well. You deserve a quality product when you dish out "turbo kit" money.
What a pos.
I have had the same exact problem. I'm using the correct K member, the bump steer kit is at its lowest, I have the offset bushings for the rack. I have went through 2 racks now because the drivers side header burns through the boot. I'm not getting any help with it either.
I have heard its been an issue since day one, kinda sucks when you spend that kind of money.
I am having the exact same problem! I did the same thing as u and it still rubs. I about about to cut off the steering rack mounts and have them welded a good inch lower. I then am worried about steering geometry however.. we will see what happens I guess.
I like the BOV location, I guess I am suppose to cut a hole in the side of the bumper cover. Visa is still handling this, hopefully its almost done.
It's suppose to look like your DP exit through the bumper. LOL
Any new updates? This thread pretty much made my decision to go with CG when the time comes.
