^ I think he is trying to say that if anyone went to school or got certified like ASE ? That manifold looks just like the megan one. do you have more pics of the manifold ? and that turbo looks huge, wonder how the lag will be.

Gunnist - Rob which is installing and fabricating this kit is ASE certified.

Scikotictc - I am picking the car up tomorrow so I will have a ton of pictures to post.

Degooch - I sure hope that the stock motor will hold up to this.

I'm hoping that 10 psi on the stock motor will be ok for now... It's just a big turbo and makes me nervous. I will also get with Robb when I go to the shop tomorrow and make sure it is ok to give out the shops info right now.

10 psi is fine.. ive seen as much as 14 run as a DD safely, prob some other ppl running more DD aswell.. but they most likely have a standalone

I did 14psi for a couple of weeks, i wasnt sure how many turns on my mbc it would take to get me to 11 so i ended up with 14....ran it for a while like that till i forced myself to turn it down

Ok well I went to get the car and the intercooler hadn't been delivered yet so we took it out with the mock intercooler on it.... Results... 1-3 gear pointless. the turbo spools at about 3500 rpm and just stays in boost. until redline....None the less the kit makes the car feel amazing. Oh and I will update the first post with pictures.
