I still want to see them include a Y pipe in the setup

im just happy theres finally a decent quality kit from a reputable dealer. im not expecting perfection. ill have to swap out those clamps for some t-bolt clamps also but its a small price to pay....just like some cutting and messaging that needs to be done.
gotta love they took the time to produce a new washer bottle though...

Well we have fabbing but we get to keep the air conditioning that is big plus! And air pump if need be.
T bolt clamps are fairly cheap but guess could add another hundred or so to the price. I will for sure be putting them in there especially on the intercooler stuff that sees boost. The air intakes are not as critical.
Would like a list of sizes needed though for the t bolts.
That washer bottle is very nice though! And is the coolant return.

Oh I also would like to see an aps specific ypipe I still need to know what stainless ypipe I can buy .Might use a hooker non coated for temp but stainless ypipe is what I want to end up with and why buy one twice??
You can't fab up a ypipe that easily locally.
So hoping can get a list of workable ypipes for the system from either guys that have used them or measuring or something.

well from the pictures it looks like the down pipes are at the same angle as the headers are so its just a matter of finding which down pipe will fit. i have my Kooks ORY laying around so im gonna play with that and see if i can make it work...if not, might end up having to be fabed up.

And some afr 225 most likely.
I have just ordered 60 pound injectors and have bmr k member ordered up.
Still need to order y pipe and not sure which to get as want stainless ypipe if possible. Also installed nice electric cutout and bought and installed textralia twin disc....

If Peter says they're good...that's good enough for me.

I'd call some of the aftermarket cat manufacturers (random tech, etc...) and see what they have to offer.

So PLEASE make sure these turbo's can handle that if not let us know what size of orifice we need. Because I am sure I will have good oil pressure.
