Ok, I just inventoried the kit and as far I can tell - everything is where it should be.
Also, I feel like I should state that the quality and design of this kit is nothing short of pornographic. I can't believe these things go for 4200 bucks...
That's ridiculous value for your money.

Dat blower bracket tho

Ok update: My kit was installed yesterday 5/30/14, did all the labor myself with help of a friend, al i have to say is wow the car is amazing very quiet under low rpms and good power band when you punch it. drove the car today to work with no issues, the tune seems smooth but im upgrading to E85 tune soon. Ill try to get some dyno time next week and ill post the results, overall very happy with my kit. KW was also very helpfull with some minor issues i had.

Picked up mine today. Gonna install it on June 10.

whats the preferred exhaust pipe size to be used with a supercharger? i know turbo is 3 inches. any difference gains between 2.5 and 3.0/3.5 inch pipe with the kraftwerks supercharger?

Um... how does one use the flash program / cable?

I have installed everything on my laptop, using the interface and the dongle. Now what?

Do you have the flash file from your tuner? If you do, have both your USB dongle and USB license key connected to your laptop, connect your dongle to the ODBII port on your car and follow the directions here:

If you don't have the file, then you need to get that first.

I got the kit from KW with the tune.
There's the USB dongle that I needed for the install, the cable for the OBD2 port and a KW usb stick.

Taino-BRZ · 06-01-2014, 01:19 PM

Kw USB stick is your tune, that file needs to be uploaded on the ecutek software and then you flash the ecu

another reason to have catch cans

this is after one session at this Friday's event

heat wrapped the intake piping and placed the .5" Boomba racing vacuum check valve (on PCV oil catch can)

yes, I can destroy exhaust gaskets

I took the horn off the bracket and mounted it on the side of intercooler where it bolts to the mount.

Left it on the bracket and utilized a different hole in the body. (that sounds awful. lol)

FR-S Matt · 06-02-2014, 02:26 PM

Add me to the list @digital_assassin

Ordered today: 6/2/2014

Look forward to the install and performance.

TmP · 06-02-2014, 02:32 PM

Mine is all installed.
What a great fitting kit.

Just a few MINOR things that could be better IMHO:
- Tensioner Pulley bolt: If the head was longer it wouldn't be such an unnessesary PITA to tighten
- Why are there no provisions to clip the MAP and AC compressor cables back into place?
- Blower oil routing / Filter location: Not a fan. Mounted the filter to the strut dome instead.
- Horn: No mention of the need to move it in the manual or any pointers on how to relocate it.

That's it.
