I just got done ordering my star stage 1 w/ hks bov.I cant wait for some boost.Any body got any pre-install suggestions or know about how long it will take to install with a lift and air tools.

A lift and air tools? Man...if you have any experience with fuel system works and exhaust stuff, it might only take 5 or 6 hours.

Outside crawling under a car without any such experience and a regular soket wrench in hand, it took me 2 days.

Regular tools, a 1 and 1/16th deep socket, and a schrader tool are all you need. Have fun!

Hehe you make it sound so easy. I bet I could never figure it all out...

hey he's got the star kit, doesn't even need a schrader tool (just a bulk roll of vacuum tube to run to the back of the car). I was able to put the manifold, turbo and wastegate assembly on Dave's car pre assembled. Might want to do it by the instructions the 1rst time. Anyway it took me a weekend both times (with no lift or power tools. I think power tools would cut the time in half and crawling under the car 100 times cant be too efficient either).

Congratulations! Boosting is sooooo uch fun! Have fun bro!

Do you have to drop the oil pan to tap the return line?? And is there any more fun things like this.

Yes you have to drop the oil pan and drill three holes in it to install the drain tube. Everything else that I can think of pretty much bolts on.

took me 2 days to install the stage 2.
you will need to drop the oil pan. not only to drill but you do want to clean it well to get all the metal shavings out.

good luck and happy boosting!
