Im just about to turbo and im curious too see what your guys had the most difficulty with. Im looking for a heads up and areas where I need to pay extra close attention. The oil feed lines seem a little shady, maybe it's just me, or maybe it's tough. What do you guys think?What was the hardest part of your KA-T install?

The hardest part for me was rebuilding the bottom end.

Twas my first time. It wasn't hard though haha.

But really, the oil drain is the hardest part I guess. Just because you have to tap the oil pan, nothing real difficult though.

it depends alot on the set up, i dont think any of it is extremely difficult tho. running oil and water lines can be tricky, and what fuel system you decide to go with could make a tune a difficult issue, but it all depends

not necessarily the hardest thing but, the biggest pita was removing the oil pan for so i could weld a return bung in.
