For a TT install, yes. It makes life so much easier and simpler to install things.

I disagree, TT kit is easier for me with the enngine in. It gives you a better idea of where ypu have room and clearance.

Back on topic, im sure this car looks amazing, but he pic aren't working for me.

In the car would be best if the kit were in a development stage but removing the engine makes everything you need to do with the installation of this kit soo much easier.

Removing stock headers, being able to be up close to the engine and not reaching over gives better control when unbolting/re-bolting items, and easier to route tools without using extensions or angled items.
