Nice build man... I'm really digging what you did with the ss grille... That was one of my main concerns,
I really don't want to get rid of it. What's up with the tubular K-member?

The k-member provides all the room for the piping to have plenty of clearance and everything above the k-member.

From the looks of it, you retained the AC and the stock radiator as well as placement. Would you want to build another one? Very nice work.

hp performance has problems delivering to people that payed in full for the turbo kit. so i would recommend you avoid them, and if you do not believe me do a search. i sent them an email when i was in the market for a turbo kit and i was getting pretty good communication, until i asked them if the kit is going to come all at once or in pieces.

this thread is probably going to get locked anyway
