A lot of work, glad it worked out for you.

Awesome thread Jayhova. It's gonna be cooler soon and it'll be time for a hookup. I may be driving over there around the end of next month or early November. I'll text you a link to look at in a minute. Go to the 1:58 mark because it happens quick.

Oh man you car sounds awesome. Let me know when you're headed this way maybe we can hook up!

I wish you posted this sooner!! Awesome dump. Will help with my build.

I love build threads. You're in St Pete? I'm just up the road from you in Clearwater. Are you going to FL2K?

Nope! Didn't even know what that was until just now, but I'll be in Gainesville for the UF / LSU football game that weekend.

Nice build! Love how you didn't remove the motor for the install.

I think if I had to do it all over again I'd probably drop the motor, particularly since we had a lift at our disposal. But it's good to know the whole thing can be put in on jackstands with the motor in if you were inclined to do it.

Thanks for all the Pics, very helpful.
Great of you to take the time to post them all up.
Cheers.

First time through all your pics today. Really great you posting all of them. Was going to ask if, after having done all of that with the motor in, would you take it out but you already answered that earlier. Really surprizing since you have that really nice lift. Also love the pic of your banged up hand. If it dosn't draw blood, it won't turn out right. :tup:

Thanks! I have mixed thoughts on whether I would pull the motor or not now... The reality is, most of the difficulty was because of a few things not really related to pulling the motor:
1) We were very inexperienced in this kind of work
2) The directions were written for someone who was very experienced in this kind of work. We also got the first version of these directions because of the next item..
3) I got the first V3 kit that went out. Every other kit they had previously sold was an in-house installation for them... for example: there were little packaging issues like the turbo intake pipes not being marked which pipe goes on which side (they look almost identical), this cost us a few days of frustration.

After I started having trouble with the install, Gamma did hook me up with an excellent support guy who answered my calls and texts throughout the holidays to help me out, and they were very open about getting my feedback so that I could help them improve the experience for others.

So... all that being said, I am pretty sure my brother-in-law and I could pull a Z into his garage today and have this whole kit installed within 3-5 days after struggling through it the first time.

The benefit to pulling the motor would be ease of installing the manifolds, turbos, and oil/water plumbing and knowing you are able to get even and proper torque on every single fastener.... but then you add the difficulty of pulling the motor, so it might be a wash. After installing a TT kit it's like 45 pounds of sh!it in a 5 pound bag, so I do think it's amazing that this installation can be done without pulling the motor (Gamma kit was engineered this way, and they don't pull the motor to install in-house either). Also it does give me piece of mind that if push came to shove, I could R&R the entire kit in my single garage on jackstands (though it would royally suck).

No these people are idiots. Who calls 911 to have the police come and meet them , just to notify you that they'll be in the city with a concealed weapons permit and a gun? I think I hurt his feelings when I told him to stick to pepper spray until he's ready.
