So, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the Turnkey kit. I plan on installing myself. The car isn't a DD, though I drive it a lot.. I have my jeep to take over DD responsibility till i finish the build.
Parts list: Gonna need the supercharger oil cooler line kit for my 25 r cooler. Mike recommends the one with thermostat.. do I really need it? I let her warm up fully before driving to begin with. Gonna get some digital gauges to replace my stock voltage gauge and my clock to monitor boost/afr and oil pres / water temp.
I have art pipes. I've read the fitment with the new oil filter location can be close.. Anyone chime in? I've got the FI non-res c/f cbe fwiw, and I do still have my stock cats, as Baer recommended using them.
I've got jack stands, torque wrenches, and a ton of tools. My roommate and I are both air force C-17 mechanics.. Crew Chiefs. I think we can handle things, but any advice and tips are more than welcome.
Catch cans will come once I see how everything sits. Stock clutch / csc for now.
Car is a 2011 Touring/Sport 6MT. Hoping for 450whp on 8lbs and 490whp @10lbs.
