Started Project last night.

Last night I started the big tear down. I am installing:

VF30
Bosal Downpipe
Turbo XS Upipe
STI Injectors
UTEC Engine managment


I already have:
GFB BOV
Bosal Cat Back
UNI Chip(to be removed)


I will document the process as much as possible and take as many pictures as possible.

Wish me luck the turbo comes in Monday morning and I want to make sure I have everything removed and ready to go.

I cant wait for 250 at the wheels the only thing NOT stage 4 on my car would be the fuel pump and the intercooler. Fuel pump gets ordered monday for thoose race gas above 18psi days. The intercooler on the other hand will have to wait until well.....
I GET MONEY!!!!!!!

Last night I removed the Injectors installed the STI injectors and removed the stock turbo upipe and downpipe.

This morning I started and basically have been struggling all day to get the VF30 to fit.

HERE IS THE Key put the turbo in and secure it via the inlet and outlet hose and clamps. Insert the downpipe around the turbo from the top. Put bolts in place where downipe meets the header DONT TIGHTEN LEAVE LOOSE.

Now wiggle the turbo and the upipe until it fits. It is not a walk in the park by any means.

Downpipe, UTEC, and a once over to make sure everything is mounted and we are ready to hit the road.
