Just did up and down pipe took me 3 nights after work taking my time to do it. A good set of instructions would be helpful. I used the Vishnu stage zero. Is your chip already programed for the up pipe? Did you get a EMI adapter also to clear up that boost transition stumble? Hope everything goes well!

Smile you can do it

hello, it can be done in the 3-5 hour realm. but i REALLY took my time and ran into a few problems. the one major problem was that i lost a down-pipe nut. then paranoia set in from the alcohol. where is that damn nut! is it in the turbo or maybe the header?! i had to take everything apart and put it all back together in search of the missing nut, that i never found. please if you learn anything from this post let it be to always keep your nuts/nutz in check
