Use Copper RTV silicone over the red RTV they say to use on the downpipe flange.

Take your time, don't rush. Follow the instructions and its a fairly simple install. Keep all your stock parts!

take your time.

use copper RTV on the manifold/turbo and downpipe/turbo connections. seals the connections and doens't let exhaust leak out

actually, that is a suggestion. i had mine leak out but if yours doesn't you don't need to.

most importantly, take your time.

looks like I can use these advice too since im gonna install mine myself. By the way where do we use the red RTV? copper RTV stands more pressure and heat than the red?

aen

yup, as hte name states, hteres a mixture of copper in it. it rocks f'realies.

Do not Get into boost while the car is Untuned... do it right and line up a tuner before hand.

Im not sure about how unichip diffrent but its always advice to be tuned even if you have a base tune, there are factors that affect each cars performance with same setup, so each should be tuned individualy for optimal performance and durability

The base map they provide worked great for me for almost a year. Your in indy and have pretty much the same weather as me, you should be ok. Of course if you have a local tuner it wont hurt. No one in MI will tune unichips.

Ya i have to go to either wisconson or New York to get it tuned lol so im gonna hold off on that for a bit plus i hear that the base map is pretty decent from alot of diff. people

oh i see, thats why i dont usually hear any issues about unichip users other than limited tuners, yeah you can hold on to that tune until you start upgrading stuff on your setup

Complication

hey Im just sayin... unichip is what orginaly blew my car up with the tnetics kit. I go with E-man blue for a few extra$$ and get it tuned asap... (what I shoulda orginaly done).. but hey if it works for you.. then more power to you and enjoy!
