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

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.
