Here is the update on Q's install. everything went very smooth, here are the photos of his car then some of both of our car. My car is the same turbo kit but the first version zpi released. So its kinda before and after.

the J pipe wont work with my setup. i have all 2.5 inch pipe and i would have to rework that entire side. that bend isnt hurting the boost ..
as far as whose faster we didnt race. i usually dont race but im sure we will square up one day. we have pretty close setup's so should be very close. he still needs the injector harnass and to tune past the base stage 1 map, so probably right now im faster. hes running super rich. i only install, i dont tune yet

They both look real nice.
Good job.
I think I asked you this before, but what grill do you have?
I need one that replaces the stock one, and all the ones I've found sit in front of the stock ones.

both cars have the fig grills. but even the ones that sit in front of the stock ones can be made to replace them as well, ive done it. just takes a little extra time. the ones that sit in front of the stock ones seem to have better fitment.

it woldnt be that hard. you can get a 2" to 2.5" reducer coupler, and the j pipe and your pretty much set. wether you can feel it or not, that kink is hurting your cars performance. i promise you that if you fix it. you will make more power.

honestly though were talking .1 to .2 boost. ill live without the 2 to 3 hp in comparison to the amount it would cost to have those pipes reworked. notice on the J pipe it drops in front of the turbo. my piping droped behind my turbo and next to my manifold.
