All I'm going to say is that Shasha is building this kit now and has some kits with no name on them. If you miss this round, you might have to wait a long time.

I'm thinking of doing a simple recoding of the install when I start wrenching. If it's as easy as everyone says it is (i think it is), the video will be simple.

I'm going to install different parts in different stages and times. I plan to do the trans and diff together. Next install is the turbo kit, then the Rad once it gets hotter.

You need to do the radiator before or at the same time with the turbo install. You do not want to have to pull all your Ic piping, intercooler and oil cooler just to get to the radiator. It'll never be easier than when its stock. Plus you have to evacuate the AC so doing that when its cooler is wise since you could run around a few days with having it recharged.

I was planning to do it before but was going to see what temps I get prior to the CSF. I'm doing everything myself so I'm not worried about any shop labor.

I totally forgot about the oil cooler though. DOH!.. That can be a little messy. We will see.

Jwick, don't you sleep man?

Trust me you don't want to pull the intercooler if you don't have too. You definitely don't want to have to remove the oil cooler later one. You have a Z in Houston were temperature are above 90deg half the year. You need the radiator upgrade. Just add it to the list pre-turbo. Chuck and I did it in the garage and it took a little more than half a day. Much less if I had know the heat gun trick for the silicon hoses.

I sleep but my body has typically only needed about 6hrs a night.

I read your install thread and I realize that you did it over several weeks, but overall how many hours would you say it took you and your buddy ?

That lift sure looks like it made life easier too. I'll have to do mine on a set of jacks in the good ole garage.. pending the warden lets me park her car outside for a week or so.

We did it over two full weekends (Thursday night, all Friday, all Saturday and taking Sunday off) and a half a Saturday the weekend before to do the radiator. I will note that I farmed out the clutch install, mainly because I didn't feel like benchpressing a transmission.

If I had to guess it was 30-35 hrs worth of work. A good 10 hours of that was eaten up by the extra gauges and my heat management analness of wrapping everything. We also spend several hours trying to clock the turbo and get the turbo coupler on. Now that Sasha has redesigned the kit the install is much easier. With the new routing I would estimate it knocked a good 3-4 hours off the total install.

I feel pretty confident that had I to do it all over again I could knock it out in one weekend. Definitely two weekends if you were going to fiddle with it during the week after work.

You really only need to jack up the front of the car. This way it is safer and easier. Just get the front nice and high and you wont have to worry about fitting under it as much. This is how I work on mine.

By installing just the kit on its own, I think I could do this by myself in a single weekend if you dont run into any problems along the way. With a buddy and a case of coors i bet it could be done in a single day. A long day/night but it could be done.

Wait...Whats the heat gun trick?

I don't think I should come into too many issues with it being a 2014 with only 5k miles on it.

I just read the instructions and I don't really see anything that looks too tough at all. Just looks like something I might be over anal about and take my time with over a week off of work.

Obviously though the instructions then don't include boost controller or gauges so that's a different beast, not to mention where to put them since I've only heard of one source for the pillar pods.

Gale is the source
