no...not jen's...this lady had a saturn ion redline that took a dump...she was asking advice on what to get, and the body style, power, and price all pointed towards the tC...and since she got rims with the car, I told he she should make sure she keeps the stockers...he husband wanted to sell them, but the tire shop said he'd be lucky to get $200 for them, so I get them for free! not great, but whatever...better then what I got now

ok so jsut installed the simple kit on my friends tc and guessssss whattttttttt... MAF FLANGE WELDED ON SIDEWAYS!!!!! ZIP TIES FTW AGAIN! hopefully todd can get a new one out ASAP!

other than that fitment was pretty good. i dont like the piping.. thats just me though..

still waiting on the harness???? then we can drop the injectors.. spark plugs.. black box and get that thing smoking!

he needs and s pipe so imma order one from todd cause i left my welding stuff in north korea...

over all pretty easy install!

stupid maf flange again!

ok crush here is the solution to your wastegate to mani problem:

go to home depot, ace hardware, city mill etc and pick these badboys up:




it has a rounded top as you can see and uses an allen wrench, so 100% tizzzight!


gool ol maf flange welder hooked me up AGAIN!!!:




zipties got it on there good now.. vac is reading -21 to -19 so all G there.

and i only ave two engine bay pics.. im gonna meet the guy again tonight so ill snap a few then.




fitment of the pipes is really hard... especially the cold side pipe we had to bend the coupler to get it to fit.. but its on and shouldnt affect the power at all...

ill take more later.. sorry and i cut my hand ugly too.. hahaha

Mr_Meaty

dang...how many different turbo tC kits have you helped install now, Java?

I'd like to see pics of how the IC pipeing is routed and how low the pipes are when they connect to the IC.

But sideways on the maf flange? wierd...Mine was flipped 180, not 90...
