P.S. I think because of how the turbo kit was designed you cant go over the K-member. Think that is the only way to go unfortunately but i think it will be fine.

as for numbers i stated about 800-850 rwhp on pump and going for the 1000rwhp number on race gas. I think that should be possible with that setup but we will see.

The kit was built to keep AC, thats why I didn't run the DP through that hole like Slowhawk showed. IF you ditched AC, a better routing may have been possible.
It looks great either way, looking forward to some results
BTW I daily drove this kit in Houston and never bottomed out... ever.

Maybe they didn't tuck as well. My car was stock height I had about 4-5 inches to the pipe from the ground.
he also has a tubular K which should add ~2" of clearance to the ground.

Just went to the shop today, he managed to move the DP and exhaust up more. it has nice ground clearance now, also managed to move the Blowoff valve piping down more to create more hood clearance and welded the dump tube from the waste gate directly to the downpipe. Makes a more cleaner look and also now i wont have that dump tube going over the downpipe and touching the rubber return line on the radiator. I will post pics up soon. Its also been tuned slightly so that it idles real nice and you can give it gas and rev it. it sounds SOOO evil ill record a little video soon.
P.S. I just want to thank everyone who has posted a reply thread so far. It feels really good after waiting this long, i think its been over 1 year and 1/2 from the time i ordered the first part for this build and going through so much work that people actually acknowledge it and take the time to give me feedback and tell me how nice it looks so far. So to everyone, i thank you
