You probably should have done a little more research.

lol, love the Monday morning quarterback comments.

There really aren't that many hoses, thekawaii. Try downloading a .pdf install write-up on NSPORTS or XS-engineerings turbo kit....that should help you a bit.

believe it or not, i'm researcing like crazy. But since all the parts were mixed up during shipping, all the unknown parts, i can't just bolt-in those parts. I'll take pic of parts, will try to pre-assemble them.

Craving4Boostwhat time's good for you?

You're funny dood, take your time & slow down.

I'm in the area too, but I'm busy w/ my own crap, hahaha.

I would say do the fuel & safc first. Make sure all that crap works.

Then do the turbo the week after or so.

Do you have other small things done like the oil pan tapped & bunged? that should be set out for 1 day itself.

And just to make sure, you've done other installs on your car and fairly competent w/ fixing your own car right? , just making sure.

AND SLOW DOWN!!! Rushing will only make things worse, don't ask me how I know.

What turbo kit are you putting on? I am in the OC and have installed turbos on several cars. I don't think I'll have a whole lot of time to devote to it. but if you get stuck, I may be able to try to help out.
