Anything I need to know about the IC install, thinking of doing that this weekend?

Nothing serious with that install, just relocate the power steering cooler vertical on passenger side. And getting your brackets lined up, helps to have a 2nd set of hands if possible.

Are the turbo's air or coolant cooled? And are they greased or oil pressure fed lubed?

Those are air cooled and oil-less Turbos

Is any running a oil cooler? If so, which one? The Mishimoto bracket didnt work for me.

The vast majority of the forum is running either the Z1 or Fast Intentions oil coolers.

I have the Z1 34 row oil cooler, I’ve had it for several years as I live in Florida. The intercooler went on just fine.

Thanks, with this TT kit it looks like it needs to bolt up flush with the radiator support for the intercooler to clear.

Who else on here is on the list for BP’s new twin kit?
 
Tried to take a pick, looks 1” clearance on bottom and 2.5”-3” clearance at top of oil cooler. This is looking down between IC and radiator https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...07b46187a5.jpg

Perfect. That's the oil cooler I need. Mishimoto sticks out 2 inches past rad support.

Let me know if anyone’s close to startup? Iam curious about these turbos.

I still have half a kit and no answer back from Sasha, no turbos and no silicone couplers. Seems like everyone else has all there stuff.

With my BP single turbo kit (COMP Turbo oilless + coolantless, which ate its bearings and destroyed itself after 882 miles) the turbo was the last item to ship. Sasha said that was on purpose, as it stretched the 1 year warranty as long as possible.

He told me that aswell. Both turbos was assembled and tested on 6/25/21 I received them 7/3/21 from California and I live in upstate NY. My problem is my Driver side bracket is way off. Trying to rig some type of spacers.

Ya interested to see how these oilless twins behave. There location on the twin kit hopefully will help, trying to be optimistic.

My cars sitting on the hoist ready to go for about 2 months now. I was hoping To get the silicone couplers at least so I could get a lot of the kit installed but still no luck.

Here's a view from the front after trying to squeeze it in. The bottom on the driver side is digging in to the rad support without the oil cooler in place.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...085c761c38.jpg

Here is the aftermath. Until I can somehow get new brackets. Used a 1 inch spacer on the driver side drilled 3 new holes. Supplied 1.5 inch bolts(extra half inch). Add .25 spacer to the passenger side. The passenger side looks better than driver. Bumper cover clears new mod. I'll start piping tomorrow. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...54583d3b6d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1aef71274c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...822f1c3feb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8a3ad2fa83.jpg

Your best option is to mark off the areas making contact, then use an angle grinder with a cutting wheel and just start cutting. Took BP three tries to send me the right brackets. I still had to do some judicious cutting to make it all fit. Only have two holes on each bracket, cut the bottoms off the brackets and the IC

BettyZ 07-12-2021 10:22 AM

You're gonna wanna dremel the heck out of the holes where the pipes pass through the rad support. Just get it out of the way now so you're not cutting with open pipes everywhere

Yes, the holes are done due to having Gen 3 intakes. But I will double check the size.

Mine were also done previously with Z1 CAIs but I ended up cutting more out for the charge pipes; really appreciated having more room to work with.

You have To trim those lower Oem plastics tab first for sure, I know I did, I had Tom figure that out on my own cuz Sasha gave zero direction after shipping the kit out.

Thanks for the tip, I have gen 3’s but I’ll try and make some more room before I install the piping.

Ha anyone tapped the intake manifold yet? Gonna try this weekend, also wondering if I need to do another tap for boost gauge or is there anything I can T off of?

I have contacted Sasha 2 times lately with no avail on any of my existing parts to complete the kit, when I was asked to pay the final amount for the kit I was not told that it was not complete, and I paid fully. Now iam left waiting with no shipping dates , just was told parts shipped out the 25th of June , we are a long ways past that date, very reminiscent of the service I received during the gtm days. Guess I should have leanred my lesson the first time.

madwi 07-12-2021 07:32 PM

Sorry to hear about your issues.

xxAGAVExx 07-12-2021 07:40 PM

Sorry to hear you are still waiting on your kit. This is my first time dealing with Sasha and he had been slow to reply. Same thing happened to me as the kit was sent in 4 packages over about 4-6 weeks after I paid in full. Communication could certainly be better, but I did eventually get my whole kit. I don’t think he’s out to screw anyone, I know supply chain issues are real from COVID stuff to that damn barge blocking the Suez Canal.

tiller 07-12-2021 08:53 PM

Iam sure everything will show eventually but leaving a customer that payed in full in the dark is not the best way to do things, maybe Iam annoying but after sending out $9g plus US for a kit, I believe in customer service no matter the situation. That’s just me and how I do business. I’ve seen the worst of the worst thru the gtm days and even through all that I still received a full kit from them.
