Default qmp turbo kit update

well i started the installation on fri afternoon and am nearing the corner on completion,i cant say it went along with no snags but for a custom kit i am pretty impressed with the fit the only thin im still a little confused on is the alt.relocation,as far as non fitting parts the 3 in pipe that mates to the exhaust didnt even come close to fitting so there was alot of swearing heating and bending there but its closer now,and the pass side pipe that comes off the manifold,the 02 bung is welded in wrong so the sensor hits the starter so i will either see if a new on can be sent asap or i will just cut and tig that one,hopefully tommorow i can start it and get going on teh tuning,but other than a few little snags i am so far impressed with it ,now lets see what it can do for power,i keep updating progress.

How did you get to install it yourself? I thought Raymer was doing all the new installs.

Where are you in Mass.?

I`m pretty sure he bought the kit before Rob imposed that new policy.

Exhausts not lining up is pretty normal. If that was the only problem then it fit pretty well I would say. When I put my Mac headers on, we had to install the y-pipe loose, then use to prybars on it to line it up before we tightened it down.
