yep, mine is directly from godspeed and i had to notch a v-band, weld another 02 bung since the passenger side didnt have enough room for the sensor, and since im running a t76, i had to make a custom downpipe. i just finished mine, it will be at the dyno this week. im writing the instruction manual for godspeed, so you will all get to see that soon!

its just a pain in the *** for them to line up if he just bolted the headers on without leaving everything loose and tightening in sequence

Got everything pretty much bolted up, havent had too many issues so far. Im a little confused on the belt routing though. I see everyone that has these PTK knockoffs are exactly the same, can someone show me pics of their belt routing or draw me a diagram?

Starting from underneath the waterpump it goes over the powersteering, around the idler, around the crank, around the alternator, and back under the waterpump

Fair warning go ahead and build a turbo brace! I hit a pot hole the othe day and cracked the turbo flange section of pipe at the v band flange. Got it all apart getting it ready to weld back up!!!!

You hit a pole. How does putting a turbo brace help?
