I started at noon working on the car and got done before dark at 5pm. Thats not very long for a turbo kit if you ask me. Maybe I'm just a badass though 
I took the front bumper off and cut it for the intercooler. I took a few pics of the bumper and intercooler

havn't gotten around to it yet... I've got a few 3" 90's and some straight sections to work with... I don't plan on welding much of the intercooler piping, maybe just bead rolling it. I've got like 15 million HTS couplers and a bunch of T-Bolt clamps... so a little time and a lot of cutting will do alright.

I really want some more info on this kit as I would like to buy it. Thanks for posting how well it fit. Looks like I'm gonna get my info from a customer and not the sponsor.
Oh yeah I have the FAL fans on my ride too, in the same location. They have been working reliably for @4 years with no issues and my car doesn't overheat in the summer. You'll like em.

Yea, a relocation bracket comes with a kit from John. The downpipe is just hangin out under the car right now... It's a 3in downpipe. There are tons of possibilities for exhaust obviously. I havn't done anything to mine yet. I'm just happy I got the kit installed in 5 hours. I'll probably weld a 3in Bullet on there with a turn down and call it a day, but we'll see.

Thanks for the report. How much did you spend on this kit in total?
Also, what else did you upgrade? I'm assuming fuel pump, injectors, etc. Please let us know the dyno#'s when you get them, track times too!
Awesome setup man.

I'm about to go test fit that bumper on the intercooler. I'll snag some pics while I'm up at the shop. I have high hopes for this kit, I know for a fact it'll max out the little T70 I'm running right now real quick with my built Iron Block. If I didnt already have the turbo and wastegate from my old STS kit I would have jumped all over his whole GT42 kit in a heartbeat. I wish I had waited just a litte longer 
Lesson learned I guess.
