Oh.. the first time I did it... i loved it.. nothing was wrong.. the only reason why i had to take it off and sell because I ran into a financial situation and needed the cash badly...

After i gotten myself squared away and was back on my feet again, i bought another kit

actually and this time since i purchased their kit before, they gave me a great deal that i couldnt refuse lol.

So i went turbo again

 

wow really?

i've not even had ONE bolt come loose... and yes.. i do check to make sure.

I guess i can say thats one thing about going FI... *sc or tc* your always checking on your stuff for loose bolts or leaks and what not.

 

I had this problem, until I went with really good bolts and nuts. Now no issues in a long time.

 

can't go cheap or careless with these things..

 

 

I do agree with the heat portion though.

I have my hood vented..*diy hood mod* lol. BUT it works great!!!

I guess taking precautions as such really aids in that factor. SC's as well

 

The only thing i have to watch is my belt tension . I check that every 5k . Thats about all . No heat issues whatsoever .

 

i wish doing a turbo kit was as simple as a sc kit!!!

I only helped take one off from my friends ap1.. i think it was a comptech.. man that thing just bolted right up front and a couple other things.. i was like... MAN i'm so jelous! hahahhaa

 

You should see them when they are SLed. No oil fittings to watch either. Just check the SC dipstick when you check the oil dipstick. Oil changes are the same as before.

Agreed on no SC heat issues...no problems at all.

 

I had a buddy whose bolts kept backing out due to the high amounts of resonance caused by our motor. We finally got sick of it and put small tack welds on them bitches...that did the trick! Just a tip...
