I dont know the exact terms of the deal, but if they didnt agree on it in the first place then the guy just overpaid for the kit, happens alot on the interweb. Gotta also keep in mind it probly cost around 100 to ship everything, not sure. But I'd say the safc should be thrown in to make the deal more worthwhile.

Man, lookin back on those pics, drilling and welding in jogging pants and sandles, baking oil pans in my moms oven, I took Nogdom to all new extremes. To think I have a shop now... :6

Sorry to bring back the dead. Just started to take ---- off my car to put in the turbo setup. When u ran the intercooler pipe from the intercooler to the bov did u have to cut a hole in the frame of the car?

I take it you have a DX, if so then yea. We angle grinded the ---- out of the spot where the hole would normally be in any regular car, cut that and everything else should make sense and fit well.

One I pray the intercooler has no leaks... Horrible Conditio.... Two you had to take out the windshield wiper fluid.... Three you had to cut a hole in the plastic where the windshield wiper fluid tank was.... Four did your two turbo exhaust pipes touch ?

1) I'm sure the intercooler has seen better days, i havent seen the car in like a year though.
2)You dont have to remove the wiper fluid, its made so it sneeks right by it.
3) Yes you do have to cut a hole in the plastic right next to the wiper fluid pipe goes through there specifically so you dont have to remove the wiper bottle, thats why its a tight bend.
4) Huh?

Does the intercooler pipe that comes from the top of the turbo touch the exhaust pipe alittle? ---- i took out my wind shield wiper fluid and broke the stupid fuckn thing on it.

I really cant remember too much about the charge pipe touching, but i dont think it was. BOV's like to be bolted down, you could try using bubble gum, but only Bubble Tape will hold more than 7psi of boost. I dont remember having any issues with the O2, but we may have plugged it or possibly extended the wires. I thought we kept the washer fluid, but that might have been another setup that I did. ---- oil pans.
