I want to thank Chris "The Neens" for installing my GT4094R this past week. It took us 3 days (those DAMN UP PIPE BOLTS):mad:. Chris even missed seeing his Mom on Mother's Day to make sure I was able to get home.:hug: You could say I felt pretty awful, but that shows how good of a guy he is.

And thank you Simon, without your help(on your vacation) it wouldn't have been finished by last night.:hug:

And thank you to Dale, Ralph, Tommy, and Jason. It was great to meet all of you guys.

Also thanks a lot Pat for giving me that Y-bridge.

This install went as rough as it could have. Every bolt, pipe, and piece all except for the Downpipe was a real bitch. Yesterday morning at 8am Chris and I started working to finish the damn thing. I didn't leave Chris's house until 9:30pm IIRC. But I can't thank you guys enough for helping me out.

OT it was great to finally meet Pat, and Kat. You guys are one of a kind. The party was great, and so was the Absinthe ah Pat:D

Chris is a total badass. He has helped me a ton on my tuning. For future reference those of you who are planning on doing turbo installs it makes life easy to start spraying those uppipe bolts about 3 days in advance with some good penetrating lube. Did you have any problem with the drain tube being to short?? Ive had that problem on a few of the installs I did. Nothing a carbide bit cant fix real quick :D. Congrats!!!!:rockon:

Nothing being too short, just ran into a problem with the intake not fitting properly, and it would have helped if the kit came with instructions. Atleast a "tips" page or something. And yes penetrating lube even the night before would have helped a lot. But damn does that GT4094R sound unreal. I liked the VVT hissing but now this thing sounds so mean.

the top-side creepers are nice, seen and used two diff kinds,
it's a love/hate relationship with the wheeled one, you'll have a differant view of it when it slips and you rack your wedding tackle on it:mad:

FWIW, I had the best luck removing the up pipe bolts when I attacked them through the passenger side wheel well. Lots of clearance and enough room for a cheater bar!
