Got the last thing I needed c/o UPS about 15 mins. ago (Blox MAP Bypass Valve)....starting the install today, but the place I'm doing it at is only open until 21:00, so hopefully I can get the @!*% out of work early. I don't foresee any probs with the installation and the on-post craft shop has all of the tools I'll need, so things should go smoothly. I'd really like to take pics of the install, but getting a digicam is proving difficult. I plan on posting a good review when I'm all done, hopefully I can get one before then. Wish me luck!

 

You plan to do a full boost install in one day?

scratch that


A matter of hours?!

 

Dear God, no! I plan on starting today, prolly around 15:00ish....I don't think they'll let me leave work earlier than that. I figure I can actually start the whole process at around 15:30, which gives me 5 1/2 hours until the shop closes. I can use their facilities for all of the hard crap, and then push the car out of the bay and finish up. I don't plan on being finished until sometime.....early tomorrow morning, in the midnight - 1am range.

 

Well good luck with that man. I've seen guys do a full install in one evening/night before, but they were highly seasoned turbo veterans.

Best of luck

 

yeah, thats a serious record for some first timer, but hey, more power to you if you can do it......correctly

 

i am awaiting the results on this

 

It can be done in a day, especially if you prefit all of the pieces.

I did mine in two.

 

like i siad, it CAN be done, by seasoned veterans. No noob is going to install a turbo in a day
Plus, IMO theres more to an install then just putting the parts on.

 

deffinitly got one of the best kits out there for stock motors. hope you get it done.

 

I snapped both of the bolts that hold the downpipe to the cat. We had a three-day this weekend, so everybody else I knew with a car was gone, therefore I couldn't get new bolts. We've got the M16 range for the next two days, so I won't really be able to get to it until Wednesday at the earliest *sob* Anyways, other than that, I spread the install over 3 days. It took me 10 1/2 hours all together, which includes numerous times I had to stop and look for tools...I'm soooooo absent minded. I used a temp solution to hold the cat to the downpipe, and took her for a test drive....OMG! It's like a different car. I'll do a parts review and go into more detail, hopefully within the next couple of days, but I've gotta go to the range in a couple of minutes, so I just wanna thank those folks who answered all of my stupid questions about turbos and electronics and such L8r!
