Yeah it is. It was on the first page but the thread hasnt seen any activity in a couple days so its now on the 2nd page.

Well, the video it self doesnt have a thread, but the process on the kit does and the link is in the thread somewhere.

i do agree it could be done cheaper, but nearly 400whp/tq out of 20k car with 4 put in it is nothing to scoff at.

sounded like the clutch was slipping pretty good, or it may have been wheel spin not sure. It could sound better.

wheel spin most likely. with that amount of power its going to be hard pressed too hook up on street tires

it doesnt have to be part of the kit, but if that was my car i would certainly want a full exhaust on a turbo swapped car. i bet you would see more than 5hp too

If that's a stock catback, I'm surprised the thing didn't choke itself to death.

They need to let that thing breathe.

Did anyone look at the AFR, is very very lean at 360whp it was at 12.99 and went down to 12.4. On pump gas that is too lean im sorry i would not run that lean in order to run those numbers.
