Who's your tuner?

The base map is fine to drive on. You won't need to trailer it anywhere.

Agreed. Just run WG pressure and don't install a boost control until you go get it tuned

I'm really just thinking I only want to run mild boost anyway so shouldn't be an issue

Famous last words. Boost is an addictive. :rofl2:

Hahaha. No doubt! Its like red bull to tyrone biggums.

Thanks man. I followed your build and I was super impressed with your install. I'll definitely be doing more research. My only concerns are is I'm not the most mechanically inclined when it comes to cars and this is the only car I have, so I'd need to do the install all in one sitting.

All I know is that I have read the BP 1 tread like 2.5x. The kit is just ingenious. I then waited and waited for Shasha to build the kit again. I was finally able to save the $$ for the kit but I missed the opportunity for the 2nd batch. A few months later v2 came out and I jumped on it. All I'm going to say is that Shasha is building this kit now and has some kits with no name on them. If you miss this round, you might have to wait a long time.

I'm thinking of doing a simple recoding of the install when I start wrenching. If it's as easy as everyone says it is (i think it is), the video will be simple.

I'm going to install different parts in different stages and times. I plan to do the trans and diff together. Next install is the turbo kit, then the Rad once it gets hotter.

You need to do the radiator before or at the same time with the turbo install. You do not want to have to pull all your Ic piping, intercooler and oil cooler just to get to the radiator. It'll never be easier than when its stock. Plus you have to evacuate the AC so doing that when its cooler is wise since you could run around a few days with having it recharged.

I was planning to do it before but was going to see what temps I get prior to the CSF. I'm doing everything myself so I'm not worried about any shop labor.

I totally forgot about the oil cooler though. DOH!.. That can be a little messy. We will see.

Jwick, don't you sleep man?

Never heard of him.

Just out of curiosity, did you have the described hiccup on the base map?

Trust me you don't want to pull the intercooler if you don't have too. You definitely don't want to have to remove the oil cooler later one. You have a Z in Houston were temperature are above 90deg half the year. You need the radiator upgrade. Just add it to the list pre-turbo. Chuck and I did it in the garage and it took a little more than half a day. Much less if I had know the heat gun trick for the silicon hoses.

I sleep but my body has typically only needed about 6hrs a night.

I read your install thread and I realize that you did it over several weeks, but overall how many hours would you say it took you and your buddy ?

That lift sure looks like it made life easier too. I'll have to do mine on a set of jacks in the good ole garage.. pending the warden lets me park her car outside for a week or so.
