Thanks for the tip, I have gen 3’s but I’ll try and make some more room before I install the piping.

Ha anyone tapped the intake manifold yet? Gonna try this weekend, also wondering if I need to do another tap for boost gauge or is there anything I can T off of?

I have contacted Sasha 2 times lately with no avail on any of my existing parts to complete the kit, when I was asked to pay the final amount for the kit I was not told that it was not complete, and I paid fully. Now iam left waiting with no shipping dates , just was told parts shipped out the 25th of June , we are a long ways past that date, very reminiscent of the service I received during the gtm days. Guess I should have leanred my lesson the first time.

Sorry to hear you are still waiting on your kit. This is my first time dealing with Sasha and he had been slow to reply. Same thing happened to me as the kit was sent in 4 packages over about 4-6 weeks after I paid in full. Communication could certainly be better, but I did eventually get my whole kit. I don’t think he’s out to screw anyone, I know supply chain issues are real from COVID stuff to that damn barge blocking the Suez Canal.

Iam sure everything will show eventually but leaving a customer that payed in full in the dark is not the best way to do things, maybe Iam annoying but after sending out $9g plus US for a kit, I believe in customer service no matter the situation. That’s just me and how I do business. I’ve seen the worst of the worst thru the gtm days and even through all that I still received a full kit from them.

I signed up for Fedex,Ups and DHL delivery manager and got the tracking numbers before he gave it to me.

No need to trim the tabs. Your IC shouldn't be any different than mine. Just adjust the fitment a bit. Mine clears the tabs by a few MMs. I have a Nismo and shimmed the IC so it cleared the front damper by a MM or two as well

Tapping the manifold is easy as long as you have steady hands and take your time.

I put another tap in the rear of the manifold, on the right runner, to run my boost gauge. Just feel around inside the runners w your fingers and figure where you want the tap. Take into account where the tap will be in relation to the TB coolant hardlines on the back of the manifold, assuming you keep them. I deleted mine. Adding additional tees to the vacuum hoses decreases reliability.

He's been very unreliable lately. I ordered the single turbo kit in December and he'd go weeks between responses. Try hitting him up on FB?

When my air-cooled comp turbo failed after 882 miles he said he'd cover shipping back to Comp. Asked for my paypal. He never sent funds.

Took six shipments for my kit to actually show up. I'm still waiting on the instruction manual. It's been seven months.

Ya gona lay it out today, the 2 upper pipes that pass thru the rad just don’t seem even close to the right length to meet up with the throttle body intake pipes.

Am I missing something? Top 2 s bend pipes are supposed to be the upper from top of intercooler to throttle body pipes but there not even close to being right.
