I've just received my kit. Someone asked for some photos pre-assembly. Here are a few.

First impressions are it is all very high quality components. The thing I like about it is the lack of intercooler air pipe. The turbo outlet connects directly into the bottom of the intercooler (about 20mm of hose) and then it's straight into the intake manifold.

I was surprised at the weight of the water-to-air intercooler. It is all billet alloy but still weighs more than I expected - must be a lot of radiator fins in there.

I test drove the car with a very large turbo and found very little in the way of turbo lag. I think the very short air piping has a lot to do with that.

Install is a few weeks away (I'm doing it myself) so will report back.
