i dont think theres a difference.
you are putting the turbo Ypipes without the vband attached right, one side, then the other, then attaching the vband clamp right
i couldnt get mine on untill i disconnected the vband. then clamped it

it is looking good, glad to see you pointed the turbo exhaust towards the passengerside so it routes were the AC used to go, it will be alot cleaner, its almost looks like it was designed to go there.

it is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i found a temporary clamp for the dp. its all on. all of the cold side is done. all thats left is wiring the fan, and shortening the power steering lines. and of course the little stuff. hope to be running by the end of tommoow. any ideas on wiring a single 16 in fan? i know it has to be wired with both fan wires that were previously there but not too sure.

edit: had to lift motor, loosen rack and pinion, and jack it 3 foot off of the ground and use blocks to hold it up. he must have had a manual rack and a tubular k member or something. but it clears and doesnt hit anything. now its close but doesnt touch. hats off to pham, now i just need the rest of my stuff from him and we are done

im 100% happy with the kit. just not 100% with the way it all worked out. i want the rest of whats mine. ralph, the owner of gz was supposed to credit me 286 but did 268, and im still waiting on my clamp. other than that im pretty happy. dont like the fact i didnt get a full credit but what can i do. so if you want to go ahead and delete that post. if anybody wants to know anything else they cam pm me for futher details. im not going to bash on them. sure it took a LONG time to get my stuff but its a good product. and i dont like the way they did with shipping it back but like i said what can i do. hope to have it running this weekend and if i do i will try to get a vid on up. if not there will be more pics for sure
