did you fit it yourself?

Yes fitted the TMIC and maf hose myself. Might even have a crack at the AOS.

I couldn't wait for the turbo and all the other bits to arrive so I fitted it myself to see if it makes any difference in isolation.

Also was an easy fit up so no hassles.

Yeah I got bit hot and sweaty during the install. Need my own TMIC. :lol:

Will give it a fang on the way to the WRX club meet tonight. Felt alright when I gave it a short test drive and check for leaks.

AOS = air oil separator

And yes I'm hoping to do the sways and braces with Kieran when they arrive.

I don't have trolley jack or stands.

Only thing I'm getting Revzone to do is the turbo install and tune and maybe the AOS if I don't find the time, purely to save money.

make sure you use stands or min put your spare tyre uner the car if the car is being supported by the jack!!

yeah i would get them to do the turbo, the seperator wouldnt take long to fit

thought u might go to springy lol

I don't have stands or a trolley jack hence waiting on Kieran.

The AOS I'll have a crack at maybe this weekend.

Sticking with Revzone. If I don't get a good dyno day result I'll then rethink.

Thanks Justin, with the likes of you guys for inspiration, I'm trying my hand at this modding caper.

Sticking with Revzone. So far so good and I don't want to jump ship midstream.

Hope to see you soon.
