pretty decent kit and works pretty well. The only thing I may change is those two v-band clamps at the back, takes too much ground clearance. A simple slip fit with a bnad clamp would've worked better.

Think you could get away with having everything coated instead of wrapping it?

Btw do you have better pics of how close to the steering boot the dp gets? I got mine mocked up so far and seems like it's pretty close. Thanks

it comes with 6 clamps you need two extra ones for the downpipe. first to connect the turbo to the down pipe and the one after that. My kit that i got from them doesn't fit like pictured so far. lol. didn't think it would. The clearance to the steering rack boot is alot closer. Not sure if it's because of the turbo or what. I'll get pics when i got the turbo mounted got to go buy some bolts.

Oh yeah where did you buy the power steering stuff local or did you order it? And how is it connected on the bottom side to the rack? Are you still using the stock low pressure side of the power steering line?
