Got some good progress today, pics coming shortly




Manifold off




Other manifold off




Does his go to the air pump?




And does that I mentioned on the manifold go to this on the air pump? Looks like the same size hose




Another pic of the hose that I'm referring to that connects to the back of the manifold




Old plugs, going to go ngk br7ef probably.

the hose on the rear of the manifold is a vacuum source that deals with A/C operation.

This.

Need to plug it back in whenever you get a manifold back on, or you won't be able to direct the air through the vents.

FEDEX has shipping scheduled to arrive tomorrow!! Pics will be up,
So car is up with oil drained manifolds off and cherry picker ready to hold the engine while the k member is lowered down. This should give me room to remove and replace the oil pan.

I just want to start off and say... this is some top notch quality pieces! I'm trying to find something negative about them , but I'm having a hard time.... Everything was packaged great with thick plastic bags covering all parts and foam padding. The boxes were all taped like nobody's business! Everything is as described so far! This review will be my opinion whether it be good, bad, or decent; so far it has been above and beyond great! Not only top quality parts but top quality support from JON!!

Beautiful quality parts, welds are smooth and solid to perfection, pieces are more than satisfactory, flanges and v bands seem solid and strong enough to support weight of turbos. Silicone couplers are thick and seem good quality, feed lines are nice 4an fittings, intercooler shroud is thick and welds are also nice..
Overall with the parts received so far I am seeing great quality parts with extremely good customer service! Excited to see what else comes in the mail next!

Ok so, I found one thing that I am not a fan of with this kit so far. Dealing with the AC CONPONENTS, the hoses are shipped with all connectors, however; I believe it requires a special tool to crimp the connectors onto the hose. It would be nice if this was revised and sent directly ready to bolt in. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise, turbo hotside parts are the bomb

Jon has spoke with me about this directly. Since we are the first ones with our hands on the kits we may expeirience a little more "time" then others. I personally do not mind it though, it is work, the discount, and testing phase of this product It is nice that all ac pieces are labeled with part numbers, and the diagram shows where everything goes. other turbo kits don't even allow ac most of the time. I am in no way giving this a bad/ negative review because of a few ac lines needs crimped. Wastegates and bov are expected to arrive today!!

Here is what I was talking about earlier,




It slips right on with one hand, just needs crimped!! I have easy access to a shop with a. Crimping tool so this will be no issue <br/>Very simple, no issues at all. Very quality parts
