Greddy Kit is not a "bolt on kit"
I just got my greddy turbo kit in today. There is some welding involved. You have to weld your oil return onto your oil pan. So that blows, I am going to have Jotech install it i guess. And you must get your blow off valve welded to.

Be real careful if you plan on welding it yourself, especially if you're using an arc welder. I've heard horror stories about frying the car's electrical system. It's grounded to the body, and all.
Anyway, I don't know that much about it, I've just welded a few iron gates and the like. You might be better off having a shop do it.

My stage 0 ZPI had it welded on already. Greddy really messed up on that one. I would not have bought itbecause I don't like spending $ on something that you can install yourself. Thanks for info BTW...very useful.

Like I said, I don't know much about welding on cars. Just be glad I'm not welding on my tC and posting about it later.

um the easier way for the oil pan to get welded and you still want to install it yourself is just simply go buy a new oil pan from the dealership......i bought mine for 110 out the door and put the measurments for the oil tap and had a local shop tig weld it for me......
