We know it at least comes with “Step 1” because there is a video for it.
“Take hammer to whipple. Beat on it till some parts pop off. Mail whatever comes off to Bobby. Wait for Bobby to do his thing and ship it back”

I think this was why the term “Turn Key” always showed up in quotes when the kit was finally released.

Looks like “Step 2” from his videos is “Fly Bobby in to install kit”. Even though it was also stated that

“It will be set for 500+whp out of the box. The goal is to maintain a 4 hour install time with hand tools in a garage with the car on the ground.”

I’m guessing that should have been in quotes too.

I lasted 15 seconds, probably he worse video for a install I’ve ever seen. “Hit it on the angle, put it in cardboard, put it between your legs” wtf!!! This is complete garbage, literally a laughing stock.
