Awesome bro! Do you got any pics of it all done? What was the hardest part of the install?

The hardest part was probably drilling the holes for the intercooler brackets since I didn't have the proper drill, that took a whole lot of time but I was finally able to do it. Most of the kit is pretty much bolt on its just time consuming.

But nope I dont have any pictures of it completely done I was too mad at the fact that the tune had failed to take any photos haha. But hopefully I can get the car running soon and i'll try and get some photos.

I can't wait to see the baby up and running....even though I might stay NA, your car could convince me to go FI!

Sounds like my problem. I can't get tunes to load on the ECU anymore either. Just crashes then I have to disconnect the battery.

I ordered it the last week of march and it came in on tuesday so total it was about 2 weeks, but that was when they were transitioning from the older blower to the new one so the wait was a bit longer. Now it probably wouldn't take as long.

Here's some pictures of the install process, and the finished product. I also may make a video montage of the install and some actual driving footage as well as some with a go pro but i'm still undecided on that, especially since during the install I strayed more away from the filming aspect as the install started to be more time consuming.

I am planning on heading out to that "garage party" at Nismo Fiesta around 6'ish. If it sucks (more than likely), I'll head out to Potranco/151.
