Unfortunately, this is not a real "Bolt-On" kit, the Downpipe needs a flange and extension welded to connect to a cat (or test pipe), but all in all, if you can get all of the pieces together it is a pretty simple install.

jack up the car and leave it on jackstands. theres a lot of prepping to do before you can put on the turbo kit.


remove the intake box AND the resonator box while you're down there, and remove the heatshield and header.You can bolt on the manifold right now if you want, it'll make it easier to make the Oil dump like because you know the general area of the downpipe.

you're gonna want to drain the oil pan and let ALL of it drain out.  go take a break and look through the parts and make sure they are all there.  When its all drained out, make a mark on the oil pan with a sharpie, where you are gonna weld the Oil dump pipe into. **make sure it DOES NOT get into the way of the downpipe** i made that mistake =P.  With that pan, you are gonna have to go somewhere that can weld aluminum, its expensive, but its worth it. You will also need Earls fittings, and i used a heater hose to connect the dump spout to the oil pan.

while your oil pan is being welded right now ( i wouldnt trust a tap-and-die kind of setup if that oil spout breaks loose and all of your oil dumps out, not only is it a road hazard, but you can kiss your new turbo goodbye.) you can start removing the front bumper.( you are gonna have to shave some of it off for the intercooler.) have someone hold up the intercooler to the front bumper support (you'll have to take off the styrofoam) center the intercooler and make a mark and drill holes into the support and bolt on the intercooler to the bumper.

now you can mount up the turbo  **make sure you Clock the housings around first!! this is done by loosening the bolts on both housings, and make sure the bearing housing is no more than 30 degrees.  Vertical is the best** (It will be a whole lot easier to get the oil pan and put it back on first.) it will be simpler if you put the turbo on the manifold, and put the downpipe on the turbo and go up from the bottom, mainly because of the wierd pattern on the downpipe.
a pic of the compressor side of the turbo.  you can see the "standard heater hose (oil dump pipe) the smaller hose comingout of the turbo  by the blue silicone boot goes to the boost controller and from there , to the wastegate.  You can tee off of this hose for your boost guage as well.  The screen instead of a filter helps inital spool-up.
