I believe the kit now retails for around $4k, shipping was $400 (he's working to get that cheaper, mine was expensive as I needed it for a deadline) and taxes are whatever they calculate on that locally - although my package value was 'amended' slightly  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

don't rely on the website

it's rather out of date

both from pricing (it's gone up) and pictures, the design of the intercooler (it's moved)

oh and the exhaust is now 3" not 2.5"

I wonder how Sean & Mark got on this weekend...

Haven't seen either of them on here so either they're still at it, or they're still driving round in it!

Well, it was a long two days (late night yesterday and today)!

The physical install had a couple of minor hiccups due to a couple of bits missing that we had to be creative with, and today we have had... issues with the electronics, but I can now happily say I have boost  s:D :D s:D  

I'll have more to say tomorrow when I will actually be able to get it out of the garage and drive it  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

OK, time to let you all know of the progress so far...

Basically, we had the kit installed by Sunday, it's a most well engineered and built piece of hardware too. Unfortunately we were missing a piece of the IC / intake piping that completed the attachment of the intake > turbo > IC > throttle body, so we got creative and reused the stock rubber intake pipe. Removing the resonator tube even gave us somewhere to attach the BOV!

So, come Monday morning we take her out - and what a blast! It ran as sweet as a nut, right from the smooth idle (I'm running 420cc injectors) to the top of the rev range. The power is nice and linear, climbing smoothly in a really nice power curve, and boy, it's insanely fast  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  

Now the down side  s:( :( s:(  

When we got back to Mark's I walked around the back of the car, only to find oil, everywhere. After backing it over the pit again for an inspection, we found it was the oil pan that was leaking. Basically, I made a poor job of re-sealing the pan when we put it back, so it's my own fault. It's a learning curve I guess! At least the actual kit and electronics have been proved to be working as they should.

So, as it stands we ran out of time and my car is still at Mark's. I returned home in a rented Fiat Punto (don't laugh) and I will be going back down on Friday to redo the oil pan. Hopefully that will be the end of the install and the start of the fun! Let's put it this way, you all will be the first to know  s:) :) s:)  

Lastly, I'd like to say a big thanks to Mark and Christina for the hospitality and assistance, and to Grant (GSB) and Ian (mr-s_turbo) for the technical help  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

We do have pictures. It started with good intentions with lots of pics but as time went on, the camera generally got forgotten  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:   But, there is still plenty to see. The camera is with my car though, so it will be the weekend before I can get some uploaded.
