Cai is gold and I built the kit myself. Just got the tune back from Diablosport and put a new set of JDM engineering 50lb injectors on. This damn thing runs like an ape on crack. Soon as i get it on a dyno I'll post some numbers. hoping for about 450 to 500.

Looks like a Hellion kit. A few pointers tho: Take the heat blanket you have ziptied to the coolant resavor, and wrap the exhaust side of the turbo housing. It will be cleaner and properly covered then and will reduce the heat coming from the turbo into the engine bay, it should have metal bands that came with the heat wrap. Also the cupler you have on the piping going to the intake is the wrong one...it might blow off under boost. I'm reffering to the cupler where the Maf would usually sit on the stock intake....try and get a transition cupler....you will probably have a boost leak or like before i stated the charge pipe will blow off in boost. Otherwise the install looks awsome...

Post more pics if possible.

I have already ordered the thermo blanket that goes over the exhaust housing on the turbo. That sheild that I have on there now is just to keep it ffrom melting the plastic. It is only rated at 1000degrees. the blanket is rated at 1800degrees. I built this kit by looking at pics. of the Hellion set up. and changed a couple of thins. Their kit requires you to change out the factory K-member to a tubular. My kit retains the factory K-member with no clearance problems.

Im hoping you forged that engine before you decide to really run that thing through its paces...or else 450-500 means bye bye motor.
