That looks very simple and high quality. Few questions..Can you keep air with this setup?Any other things have to be moved /relocated? What about rad and fans? No bracing on the turbo ,any possibility of cracking from the weight of the turbo?

I have the APS kit for my 99 but have other buddies considering going turbo on their cars.

yes to keeping air.
The kit comes with new rad and fans and is relocated further up in the nose, but no cutting for it to fit.
There will be a a turbo bracket, so the weight won't be hanging on the headers.

Will do, but seem's like I store that info in the hollow side of my head so I don't think about the cost, lol!

Hate to see ya lose the SC but if you can get in a house I would do it in a heartbeat.
