My 2cents on the kit: It was the one of the cheapest kits on ebay that wasnt a universal. It came with all needed hardware to install including Jpipe, aftermarket throttlebody elbow, bov pipe, and a pretapped nibble pipe for a boost/vacuum source. The kit says that it requires cutting of the pipes but we found that untrue. Once we figured out where each pipe went we didnt need to cut any of them. All the pipes were beaded on the ends so that a huge plus in my book. We had 45* pipe left, 2 couplers, and a bunch of t bolt clamps, left over. from the looks of it those extra pipes are there in case you have a t25 or t28 and the kit still bolts up to those. So im impressed that the people puting the kit together covered all there bases and included everything in the kit. Anoter nice thing is it came with a free BOV. Its a knock of so its only temporary, but its nice because when you get rid of the stock piping on a 2g you dont have a bov to use so this will hold you over till you can buy one. I took a jigsaw and cut the crashbeam so it was just the top piece and mounted the intercooler straight to that. It allowed everything to install securely, easy, and even. I thought the kit was very well made and put together. Very convenient because it had exactly everything you needed gaskets included. two thumbs up in my book.

the package

Tearing out piping and AC

Poofys Awesome drilling job straight into the radiator

Poofy in all his glory

The new piping

Gotta love a free knock off BOV, its temporary, but at least its better then the plastic stocker

All done

Just having some fun
