...next week. I've been waiting on my pedestal spacer from fleece for a while but its shipping out tomorrow and as soon as i get it im starting the install.
i got the:
turbo
pedestal
intake
downpipe
oil return and feed
3/8 inch hose to loop the coolant lines
t4 gaskets for the turbo
up pipe gaskets
all hardware to mount
i made a reducer off the v band on the charger so i can use the stock IC hose

see anything im missing?
also what are the torque specs for the up pipes? the pedestal to motor? the turbo to pedestal? or is it more of a tighten the shit outta it thing??

I'll be posting some pics when its done and probably a little video after i get it all tuned up. im also gonna try to take pics of the install process.
I CANT FREAKING WAIT!!! :D

-clamp for downpipe to the rest of the exhaust (band type so you can remove it easy)
-Driver side trans dipstick or plan on bending your stocker up to fit around the downpipe.
-Soak the uppipe bolts with PB Blaster every day for about 6 months before you are ready to take them off

im just iffy on dropping the $$$ for the billet. not sure the spool is worth the money. im just not convinced its a seriously noticable difference in spool speed

Chop saw for the exhaust and a band clamp or something to hold them together at the downpipe connection. Even with a reducer I'm not sure the stock hot pipe will be tall enough, may require cutting and welding a section or buying a hot pipe made for that (ATS or custom).

A bung or some way of installing the MAF.
LB7 Y-Bridge and cold side pipe.
New tires and a diaper.
