Hey Ken, which K Tuned radiator hose did you get? I'm having a hard time figuring out which one fits.

So with that turbo setup it looks like you'll have to have some sort of heat shield for the brake fluid reservoir and maybe the fuse box?

Hi Ken, I am a huge fan of your build and have been following for quite some time now. Would you be able to give any insight or tips on removing the stock turbo? I am looking to be replacing mine myself shortly. Thanks in advance!

Hi! Did you measure the exact volume of the combustion chamber?no photos left?

How much power does the stock AT hold? It turns out I saw your car on the vitwiper's instagram some time ago it was 520whp on stock tranny?

And the block off the ports on the exhaust flange with the header flange?
