it will work but I am going to install longer pipe conn. so I can
double clamp them. Because the pipes keep blowing off.
I zip tied the pipe going around the crank pulley to the outside
of the frame to keep it from getting too close.
Let me know after you get it installed. Mine runs really strong but needs to be fine tuned.

I also read your other post. All you have to do is remove the plastic
from under the car. You do not need to remove the washer fluid or
the ac. And by removing the plastic it will let more air go in to help
cool of the turbo.

It's not just about longer couplings to keep the pipes on. None of the kits out have beaded pipes... big manufacturers bead their pipes. I had all my pipes beaded for $50 so I don't have to worry about **** blowing off.

these are beaded, but the couplings are barely long enough to go over them and clamp down. the clamps aren't very strong and it gets so hot that they slip off from moving around a little

thanks

i wasnt sure if i needed one or not. i guess the only way i will really know if it is going to work is
by taking it to my car and place them where they are supposed to be. not by what i think. thanks guys.
