Do you relocate that large wiring harness that at the back corner of the engine? Looking at that location it seems there are a lot of heat sensitive items.

Ultimately that was what made me rule out this kit when I decided to purchase a turbo kit. There is no way I would run this setup with a cat still in the header which would mean you would have to also purchase a header which only increased the price more.

Do you think there would be too much heat (EGTs) even with the turbo related exhaust bits being after the cat? I would think it would be plenty safe.

I have just read stories of the cats breaking down and the bits going into and destorying the turbo. I think someone had that happen on this forum awhile back.

With this specific kit? I do agree though this kit is too expensive considering there is no header provided. Knock off about $800+ and it make a little more sense. The more research I do, the better a SC look

I'd like to know why it cost so much. Insane profit per kit or maybe they just use high quality shit.

Whatever the case maybe I'd love to know more about it. Reason for turbo location? Why they choose to run it factory header? Do any other turbo kits use factory header?

I wonder how many kits they've sold so far.
