    1) what are you going to do for fuel management and a tune?
    2) pretty sure those kits don't have downpipes...
    3) parts will not simply interchange b/t other kits.

    If you need instructions to install the kit do you think its a good idea to buy a cheap kit with no guarantees?

    If you still think it'll get you through... look at people's builds....I mean you can't put two sets of headers on a car...and if the turbos aren't connected to anything you know its not installed.... you know you either have to remove your oil pan or punch and tap it on the car or run a return pump to get the oil back in the engine.... installing the kit is one of the easiest parts of a build... this is the nicest way I know to ask if you really think you should attempt this alone if you don't know how to physically bolt on parts...

    This needs to be in the newbie section. Is this going on a stock 302? What are your hp goals?

    one ebay turbo kit- $500

    one week labor for a shop to cut and weld said ebay kit into place- $1500

    forged rotating assembly in a stock block- priceless :D


    really, as far as the 'big' parts you just unbolt the old headers and bolt on the turbo headers. then you connect the pipes with your crossover, then you install turbos, then you hook up the oil lines, then you instal wastegates, then cold piping, then get it tuned, the enjoy


    sorry for being an ass but what kind of instructions are you looking for? just get in there and start taking bolts out and youll get it.

    won't 3.5" pipe on the cold side create lag issues?

    Coldside:
    2 inch merged into a 2.5 to the intercooler
    3 inch from the intercooer to the throttle body.

    Hotside:
    2.5 downpipes will be fine.

    this combo i mentioned should max out at 650 to 700 rwhp
    not with those turbos though ;)

    a 3.5 coldside..... only use on somethign making a 1000 plus other then that your giving up 100"s if not a 1000 plus rpm of spool time. Bigger is not always better.
