Well I had originally planned on installing the kit two weekends ago. Unfortunately, it arrived sans an intercooler pipe, so the install was pushed into this past weekend. I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but if you have any questions let me know. As it stands now I am just waiting on my DME, a couple feet of the small meth tubing, and a few wiring odds & ends for the meth kit to start her up. Hoping for Thursday.
Also I am not installing the Spec 2+ clutch, Steel FW, Quafie, DSS axles, and diff. lockdown kit until March.
The order of the pictures got jumbled during upload...
Here are some torque specs I compiled that may be of use to some people. I have it in word if anyone is interested, the forum didn't like the tables. +90* means turn an addition 90 degrees.
