I feel bad about everything that happened/is happening to the store, but don't think I'm trying to bash you guys. I just want to keep reminding cuz I dropped 3600 on stuff and am stuck below what the base kit does. And I did get the alcohol kit, so that's nice, but it's not gonna activate at 4.2-4.5 psi lol... Either way, as soon as it's available, I know you guys will send it. Just please PM me when you do. I really NEED/WANT the mbc. Lata

I believe he did! As did I, he gave me a couple quick tips. Plan on working on it for 2 days for the whole thing, if you got a buddy helping you.

You need a 24mm open end wrench (oil sensor), 3/4" drill bit (oil return), red silicone to make a better seal on your re-installed oil pan, couple flat head screw drivers, pliers, oil, oil filter, metric and standard open end wrenches, and some tool to help you modify (cut) your bumper. I can get into more details if you want to...

Not a bad install, took me one night and the following day to do it, and I didn't completely rush it either.

That seems easy enough...Im sure i have all the tools, my father's a mechanic. He's got whole bunch of crap in the garage...Be nice if he helped me out with this if i get the kit but he's totally against it due to the fact that it costs 3 g's...But that wont stop me if its gonna happen. Thanks for the info Madwheel, at least i know who to talk to when I'm ready.

oh btw, buy some extra hose clamps, that go for 2.25 to 2.5" diameter pipes. Couple of the clamps that came with my kit were kinked so you'd be better off changin a few of them...

i have been buying whole boxes of hose clamps. I have been just tossing boxes into the kits, so some people should have more than enough if one or two are bad.

DaAAamn...Thats awesome man...But arent you a bit worried about whats gonna happen (if anything) in the long run? You're putting a lot of stress on that stock engine...U think it'll last as long as without having turbo?
