Ok thats good to know! I am highly interested in this! Im pretty sure i want to be put on the list i can finance the kit and put most the cash down. Just wondering will you be posting some videos of this kit so we can see the quality?
From what i have researched about kits in general is their is three things to look for
How fast, reliable, and cheap it is. You can only pick two and sacrifice the third. So this kit is cheaper than most and fast not the fastest but still fast so is the parts reliable? Any warranty with the parts? Obviously if you dont install it you cant warranty the install but i plan on keeping this car for 30 years. So i want something that is reliable. Thats my concern. Other than that id buy it in a heart beat!

Another question can the test car be put on a dynojet too?

With that in mind if i go on the list id want the 18's with black powdercoated pipes and i already have uprev so no need for that. And it would be shipped to 78249.

Thanks again!

Oh and i plan on buying the GTM 3" quad exhaust down the line too any chance of saving money and throwing that in too? If not its ok im in no rush for the 3" yet.

GTM, what are your thoughts on someone attempting a tt install without a lift? i know it CAN be done in theory, but in practice, is this something i would even wanna look in to

It has been done many times even with our Garret baced kit. The MHI kit is even easier to install.

you can do it in jack stands, a few of us have done the garret kit. this doesn't even need the head drilled/tapped so its easier to install now.

This is great news - that was one of my worries with the Garrett kit, even though a template was included.

how long did the install take?

BlkNismo · 03-27-2013, 05:13 PM

Does this kit require relocation of the washer reservoir?

Based on the pictures, it must. The intakes are in a similar position as in the Garrett kits.

Yes it does. We offer a supplement kit with a smaller reservoir .

Get some 6000lb. jack stands, they lift the car twice as high as the small ones, makes it 10 times easier to work on. I pulled my tranny, installed a stage 3 southbend clutch and reinstalled the tranny by myself without any problems what so ever. Also did a Quaife diff on the rear end before that.

My car is up on jacks again getting ready to install a turbo, the tall jacks make all the difference in the world.

So was there any technique to actually lifting the car that high on a jack safely?

What's the specs on your jack?

That'd be tough to do the exhaust manifold but I've seen people install that at home before.
