I got mine on the car at the moment. Just waiting on some v clamps. Not sure if the downpipe is gonna fit. Need the v clamps to confirm. Just doesn't look like it with me holding it in place.

I recently read that Plano Tx was one of the most affluent (richest) cities in the U.S. Now I know why. Budget shopping for the win.

You need either 2 pusher fans, or 1 pusher, 1 puller.

12 inches each make sure they are thin profile.

Thanks for the coke can pics monello. Your car is lowered right? I sure hope so! When you drive over speed bumps try not to think about seesaws.

I dont know how I just now found this thread I have looked at those kits like at least a million times, I am really stuck on a rear mount or even removing the floor pans where the rear seats used to be..I tell you though Monello you should be getting paid to advertise for all the parties involved in your build..Sponsors or not I am very impressed..Interested in hearing actual wheel horsepower when you get a chance..

I may be continuing the turbo project on my Hawk again. It's exciting when you think you might have enough money to finally do it. Definitely interested to hear updates on how it's going for you and curious if they'll quit selling these kits on ebay cause that's where I plan on buying mine.

Im fighting a misfire issue right now.

Replaced the plugs and wires. Cleaned the MAF. Replaced the Injector O Rings.

Wish I would have bought the Injectors new, because they are suppose to be used with only a few thousand miles. But who really knows?

Need to buy a Fuel pressue gauge for the fuel rail to make sure the fuel psi is stable.
