I am sure it can be done however you are much better off pulling the motor.

Are you trying to DIY?

I think all the mechanical portions of the install are extremely doable without dropping the motor. The parts that I'd be worried about are WGs/vacuum lines and both cooling supplies to the turbos.

Yes I am going to install it myself ! I have been a certified mechanic for 22 years now ! I would pull the motor and trans but I don't know if I would be able to tie up one of the lifts at work for that long . I know many people have installed the GTM/Gamma turbo kit without pulling the motor ! I am wondering if anyone has installed the Fast Intentions turbo kit without pulling the motor . I talked with Kevin at F.I. yesterday and he did not think anyone has done so . Let me know ! Thanks, Ken

This idea brings back memories of trying to deal with Turbo's on a 1990-96 300zxTT car. It was so much easier to just yank the motor and tranny.

I'm gonna attempt it here in the next week or so. The Gamma V3 kit touts that you don't need to pull the engine, so gonna put that statement to the test.

Hope it goes well and good luck!

I had to change a heater hose above the driver side turbo and it was a PITA.

Did you put the kit together yourself?
