At this point I think everyone knows that with a decent set of tools, the time, and proper experience, you can install a GTM TT kit yourself with the engine in. I personally enjoy looking at other peoples builds so I figured I would post some pictures along the way with mine. The pictures aren't the best but I did what I could with my iphone while installing the kit.

The install is not complicated, but it is difficult doing this with the engine in. Clearances are tight, you are often working on your back reaching up into cramped spaces, its not for the faint of heart but it is completely doable, especially if you take your time. I work full time so I can only spend a few hours a during the week and my weekends have been a bit busy unfortunately. Despite that I've made some good progress so far and I'm over halfway done with the install, I will post up more pictures as the build progresses.

I'd also like to give a big thanks to Sam and GTM, you can tell they are very busy over there but he will still take the time to discuss any issues or questions.

Parts List:

GTM Stage 1 Twin Turbo Turn Key Kit (now running the stage 2 housings with a built engine)
GT2860rs .64 AR with internal wastegates
Bosch 650cc EV-14 Injectors
