My KA-T setup is finally finished and out of the shop!!!!!!!!! I was driving around all night yesterday and holy shi* this thing flys. Right now everything is running good and I havent encountered any problems. Car idles fine and boosts good. Well anyways onto the pics.... sorry most of them suck but I only have a camera phone for now.









Everything is running as it should and hopefully the motor will hold up for a while.... Here is my setup

IAP manifoldAMS GT32Yonaka FMICTial 38mm WGGreddy RS BOVDeatsch werks 555ccEnthalpy ECUZ32 MAFGreddy catch canWalbro 255

....and a few other things... right now im running no boost controller and a .4 Bar spring in the wastegate.... it has been creeping a little bit higher than that at some points though. Il keep you guys updated!

All this is on STOCK internals (knock on wood)

I'd get some heat wrap for that too and its creeping probably casue your wastegate line is too long. Mine was pretty long and it creeped 3+ psi on me. I have fixed the line and now it holds a steady 7psi through all teh egars instead of 10psi creeping.. :-)

Geo- I was planning on geting some heat wrap for the down pipe nad misc things and geting a BMC heat plate. Was also going to get a turbo blanket from phase2. I opened the hood after I was driving and it gets wayyy to hot in there not to have some heat protection.......Im also going to check the wastegate line 2moro, thanx

Racin-Type... haha yea that was me, I finally got it done. Ima hit you up on aim

TJM - I did all the work to it that I could... installed the fuel pump, gauges, relocated the battery, mounted the turbo manifold, put in the ECU. All other work and my intercooler piping was done by ATX motorsports in bergen county, NJ. They did a great job and everything is clean. They are a little pricey but the work is top notch. They do a lot of twin turbo Z and G35 stuff and they specalize in awd dsm's.

Sounds like a great set-up......it's pretty much what I have planned right now. What down pipe are you using with your set-up?
