Done,..
Engine bay


Bought radiator hose to reach BOV and cut OEM accordian style one,..used Worm Clamps,..also bought 1/2" hose to lengthen EGR hose,..


Used spare silicone hose to shield against Positive battery terminal


AVO CAI,..

 

Nice Kevin, any lag on the ride?

 

Good job man!

Patience...time...

How's the font look? I have like almost zero time to do anything this involved...the life of a soccer dad...

Way to go! Something to be proud of!

 

Im kinda thinking that its not as responsive,..but let me get accustomed to it,..gotta go w/ my mom for Doctors appt,..

But I had to clear some codes,..funny thing was after I got my front bumper on and closed the hood to see if it cleared,..it didnt shut at first,..I then let it drop again and went to start car,..car wouldnt start,..I took out my AP and saw codes for MAF sensor as I started car w/o air filter and sensor plugged in to turn my front wheels on the install..Anyways, I had to reflash the ECU and its learning again (car was bogging at stop signs),..

But I can tell you the BOV is louder it seems and it does seem to pull harder now,..Just need that tune,..I think if I get a turbo, someone else is going to install it for me after this,..but second thought, a turbo install isnt that hard is it?

hey kev, you work with andrew ing and his mom right? lol sorry, OT i know but he mentioned it to me before.. looks like you did a good job on the fmic install. turbo? nah not hard at all. i say if you can do the fmic by yourself, the turbo is nothing.. although, it would be very nice to have an extra set of hands...

 

great info on the install one day when i do my turbo/fuel system i wanna get a WBR FMIC

 

Hey kev, if I can do a complete turbo install ALL by my self, so can you buddy... but if you need help, LMK.

Shaun

 

just from watching a turbo removal, i think its a walk in the park... you should be fine!

 

Hey Myron,..

Yup, work with the mom,..Andrew is going to school now so he doesn't work day to day now like he used to,..good to see him when I do,..his hachi is crazy,.

Maybe if there is a group buy on a turbo, there maybe a group install day,...at least I can get some pointers,..just wondering if there are any shortcuts or tips to keep the coolant and oil leaks at a minimum,..I guess once I see it done, I'll be more comfortable as I like to be prepared,...

 

oil doesn't really leak much at all and if you clamp the coolant lines before taking them off you won't loose much of that either.

 

Add crappy camera pics,..
