Checked the torque on the lug nuts today. A got about an 1/8th of a turn from most of them before the torque wrench (set at 80 ft-lbs) clicked.

Used to be a "translator" in my previous life - from design and concept jargon to customer support and "commoner" lingo. So from that aspect, I understand. I just know its going to be awesome by the time you're done... or a heap of spare parts (joke)... Just leave a contrail when you pass by so I know its you DSM. Thanks!
Lol glad I am amusing someone!

On a sidenote... tons of interest in these turbo parts. Money talks!

Also food for thought: for a few hundred more than this kit would cost you, I am selling one of my DSMs with extra go fast goodies to anyone who wants a weekend toy. $2600 gets you a car with extras that can easily go high 11's in the quarter mile with a good driver on sticky tires. Buyer will work with me directly for more pictures and any potential maintainence items.

Ya meggie just 4 looks i know there's no power gain but it's the look I'm after. thanks for ur advise though.

No prob Mike! But you'll be hard pressed to do it properly for cheaper

I am still doing some research and experimenting on an auto GD3 for locking in greater line pressure to make those paddles worth their plastic!

Unless someone with a GE wants to bribe me into doing it for them first! Money talks!

But yea to all those who have PMd me price still stands at $1355 + shipping and then $150 for the big intercooler. The rest is universal and I will walk you through sourcing the last couple bits you need to make it whole.

Thats $1505 for all the essential Fit specific parts including turbo, lines, FIC, etc. You will NEVER find another deal like that.

I know there was a HKS used for $2.2K that couldn't come close to the #'s ur setup will put up!, but the kids need new stuff 4 school. Still kick'n myself!
Wish ya lived closer and I could H.O.K. one of your rides! (house of kolor)

Down the road look into the Tsudo exhaust like I put on mine. Full stainless steel exhaust that fits nice and sounds good. You can find it for about $200 shipp in most cases also which is less than the axle backs most buy that provide little performance gains.

On another note got new tires on the Fit yesterday. I came home to find one of them flat and it turns out the inside sidewall had a huge tear in it. It had have happened when the fiance was driving it which is scary. Luckily nothing was damaged but it could have serious screwed up the wheel had she driven on it more not to mention be very dangerous for her.
