There are instructions on installing the SF kit, just not written ones. They are in the DIY. All you have to do is print them out. The guys at SF have been so busy trying to make your guys' kits and send them out on time that they havent had time to stop and write them out. They arent just working on 7th Gen kits they are also working on a couple of show cars, the water/alcohol injection kit for the 7th gens, celica kits etc... they are working their asses off and have been ever since the kit came out, dont get mad at them because you havent gotten your kit yet. They are working on it. And im not trying to be b!tchy you guys just need to be patient.

There arent alot of problems with the kit. Most of the people that have bought the kit have not ran into any problems and their kits work fine.

Nope just you.
The SF kit, in my opinion (from everyone elses comments) is by far the best kit available for our cars.

I've only heard bad things about the Max-Rev and TD kits, nothing about the SF so far!

your title is misleading...you make it look like the kit itself has the problem and not the install.

i think the sf kit is awesome in every way. i know because i read the theards. the only thing i see Wrong are people making mistakes installing the sf kit. personally i think that any turbo kit should be done by professionals or people that are 99.9 percent know what they are doing. double check on the reads of the theard, there are bad ones like the TDS for example.

bolting on the kit isn't hard. I am sure anyone who can use a tool can install and save themselves a few hundred bux. The only part that will be difficult is getting the correct fuel with the increased air.
