I just returned frome my shop. Took me close to 3 hours to install it. I used a spacer plate between the head and the manni, and did not have to crush the water pipe at all on my 2G. I did not have to remove the coolant return line and bolt at the block behind the compressor either. Everything went pretty smooth. The only prob, was that there was no plug for the oil supply line at the oil filter housing. So I had to use a bolt with silicon. Only running 15psi for the ride home, onw thing is clear: this turbo wants to spool. And hard! It is still of course not like a 16G, nut def. quicker than my S20G. And at only 15 it pulls just as hard as the S20G at 20psi(which is what I was running) I cant wait to really get on it. Took it easy. When I get back to the shop in the morning I have to go over everything,and make sure there are no leaks. The drivers side fan would not fit, though, because the wastegate actuator is on that side. So Im onle using the passenger side(I used the main side harness so it acts like the regular fan, not the secondary)
