You can expect to add any where from 80- 150 pounds extra weight.

really depends on turbo. big turbo 50 pounds. tc76 is like 20 i think. With a tc76 i think you can come in under 80.

Plus most people pull front bumper support for IC, which saves some weight.

I really hope its on the low-end, because 80 sounds reasonable especialy with my baby turbonetics twins. I will put the kit on a scale and weight it before it goes on the car.

Sure its safe...

Just dont get into a front end accident. Most cars on this site(not all, but alot) that have a fmic have taking the front bumper support out.

Tell you what take the tags of the kit boxes which will add up to 135lbs and subtract the weigh of the parts you're removing and that would give you the exact weight of the kit

How's the install going!
