Ok so a little update, mostly stuff you need to know when you jump into the P&L kit.

1) I have no instructions so i am completely flying blind here, I have been calling P&L and Prime Motoring for pointers but it's really annoying...guess that's the price of having one of the first kits.

2) The quality is amazing for "almost" everything. Everything that's coated is flawless. My gripes are with the fact that the new wiper fluid bottle comes with no mounting hardware so i gotta go find some nuts and bolts to use. The hose clamps for the oil return line are pure garbage and are too small. I cant even get the damn things to tighten off the line...so to the trash bin they go. Also no wire for the turbine heat shield...I used simple lock wire but it's not all that common in normal people's garages.

3) The fuel pump upgrade sucks, you have to chop the stock bucket up for the new filter to fit, and wiring the damn thing is kind of a scary affair, an actual harness would have been nice instead of having to cut and splice lines that are in your gas tank...

4) I have no idea what springs to use in my wastegate and bov, so hopefully someone from Prime Motoring or even P&L can chime in and give me a heads up so I use the right ones...this would be alleviated with instructions but they haven't finalized theirs yet.

5) Not enough air line is supplied so i have to get some more.

Other than that I should have the car up and running again this weekend unless i have any catastrophic failures or something...
