Couple pointers that will eventually be in my build thread...
- Get your ECU number and send it to Sasha as soon as you get the UpRev cable. This will save you base map time later.
- Fitting the turbo is the only frustrating part. I found it easier to clock the turbo on the car. Get it close on the bench. Leave compressor side loose. Fit to charge pipe and exhaust manifold and rotate til its perfect. Then tighten two bolts, pull it back out and tighten the rest.
- To get turbo in charge pipe, lube with oil and have someone hold the front charge pipe while you push. Makes it MUCH easier. Make sure the clamp is as open as it will get with the nut still on.
- Pay very close attention to the pictures on the transmission harness. It's kind of confusing at first. I also added heat tape to the harness while I was in there. Once the exhaust manifold and turbo are on, you won't get to it again.
The install is very easy and straight forward. I started my car for the first time tonight and I'm probably a little bit over 20 hours into it working very slowly and 95% by myself. Just need to finish up the gauge install now.
Good luck!
