GTM, what are your thoughts on someone attempting a tt install without a lift? i know it CAN be done in theory, but in practice, is this something i would even wanna look in to

It has been done many times even with our Garret baced kit. The MHI kit is even easier to install.

you can do it in jack stands, a few of us have done the garret kit. this doesn't even need the head drilled/tapped so its easier to install now.

This is great news - that was one of my worries with the Garrett kit, even though a template was included.

Does this kit require relocation of the washer reservoir?

Based on the pictures, it must. The intakes are in a similar position as in the Garrett kits.

Yes it does. We offer a supplement kit with a smaller reservoir .

This kit sounds absolutely incredible, and with such tempting pricing! Damn you business school and your affect on my bank account...

Sam:

Is the Washer Reservoir listed on your site the one that you are talking about? The pictures only show the bottle. Does it come with a bracket? That is the only thing keeping me from ordering it right away.

Also, I asked about the 3" downpipes earlier. I am looking to replace the ones that we included with my Greddy kit. If it is a complicated situation, I will just explore the alternative with AAM, Zerolift, and or UPREV.

1 word: EPIC

Now just need to get CARB approval for the SC kit finalized so you can focus on the TT CARB approval!

Get some 6000lb. jack stands, they lift the car twice as high as the small ones, makes it 10 times easier to work on. I pulled my tranny, installed a stage 3 southbend clutch and reinstalled the tranny by myself without any problems what so ever. Also did a Quaife diff on the rear end before that.

My car is up on jacks again getting ready to install a turbo, the tall jacks make all the difference in the world.

So was there any technique to actually lifting the car that high on a jack safely?

What's the specs on your jack?
