Default Phamspeed budget kit - Big Mistake?

Well I'm finally getting around to installing everything. Got the hot parts on and have the turbo just sitting on there for now. It's a T6 flange so I'm having a T6-T4 adapter made in case I end up going with a T4 in the future. This thing definatley has NO ground clearance. I had Eibach sportlines on the car for quite a while and put my stock rear springs back in. I can't find my stock fronts so this is what it looks like with the sportlines. About 2" of clearance.


Here is a shot with the car raised to simulate stock springs. Still only about 3" of clearance.


Few random pics of the engine compartment. Should have plenty of room for a custom radiator and FAL pusher fans.

Which kit do you have? The forward facing with the tubular headers or the budget kit like me with shorty headers?

i only have 3" (no more) of clearance on my forward facing header kit. It's rough for everyone, just drive like a grandma over speed bumps and watch for debris on roads/highways...

A muffler shop with a turbo kit?

That would be a BIG mistake.
