Thanks.

I live in San clementine CA would not mind meeting up getting the kit next month

Looks good, IMHO that intercooler is fine for the application, most turbo installs go way too big on the intercooler and make the pump time too high. Good Luck looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

Hi GE8FTW,

Wow, that is good price because they are dyno tuning...
hmmm...
Also do you know the average waiting time until you can secure appointment,
because I worry they might be busy and booked...

I can't wait to hear your final review (and learn from your experience) after you install and tune your system.

Thanks

Congratulations, that is amazing that it fit perfectly

Is your car a Manual Transmission or automatic?
Have you start the car and test drive?
And do you plan to change the fuel pump or keep it stock?
from what I read so far the stock fuel pump is enough...

I also had bought a higher flowing fuel pump, a Denso fuel pump that have 265lph flow rate, a slightly higher than Evo 10 stock fuel pump...
I had not install it yet... I do worry that it might be too high in flow rate and I might need to do a return fuel line.

Do you plan to have a fuel pressure gauge?
I am really curious to see the fuel pressure when using Evo 10 stock fuel pump...
