Ok, now that i'm actually close enough to turboing the KA I felt like it'd be a good idea to give back to the boards and make a comprehensive KA Turbo Site for my car. Does anyone have any tips? I know taking pictures every 5 minutes will slow the process down but I think it's worth it... God knows how many times I looked at Jeff's turbo install pics... o.0

So... a wish list of sorts would be helpful :D

maybe you should put more detail or something when doing the oil return line.;)

Heh... I tried documenting my setup as best as I could, but you can't keep stopping to make sure the picture came out right. You just ruin the flow of your work, and when you get on a roll.... you just go! I'm working on re-doing a lot of my pics as I reconfigure parts and pull stuff to check and paint as I detail my engine bay and work on other things.

But.... good luck with the install itself!!! Hopefully the pictures won't impeded you too much, and the only tip I can offer is to keep the camera close by on a rag next to a bottle of Gojo or something :P

include where you got all your parts. i've had some trouble finding anything besides revhard turbo manifolds and $4000 turbo kits. if you did yours cheaper than the kit way, please explain! i'm looking into turbo ka in the future, so i'm looking forward to your documentation. thanks!

and the rest of my setup looks like its going to be done early may... IF my manifold and fuelrail get here! >_< custom parts take so long to make!!! especially if your not the one making them =p and bugging some guy to do you a favor.. lol
