The countdown is on and I have a little under 2 weeks before my turbo kit gets installed. Im excited, but pretty nervous at the same time. I want it on very bad, but afraid something might happen :nono Im confident that the install will go smoothly, but its just that Ive been reading too much on here and dsmtuners that its making me paranoid. :( haha. Im pretty sure Im prepared and have everything I need. But heres my list....

Had the 60k maintence done about 8000 miles ago
Compression test results - 205/210/205/210 (did this before I bought the kit and last week)
HRC stage 2 w/fmic and greddy type-s bov (went through every box and made sure everything was there)
Vortech s-fmu with hard spring and adaptor kit
Missing Link
Ngk plugs (1 range colder than stock)
Magnacor wires
Energy suspension motor mounts
Hks type 1 us spec turbo timer w/harness and extension (not here yet)
Autometer gauges - 30/30 boost, egt w/probe, elect. fuel pressure, voltmeter, oil pressure
Gadgetsellar.com digital a/f gauge
Autometer cluster bezel and a-pillar gauge pod

Stock internals and stock exhaust w/ aftermarket muffler

So what do you think? Should I be ok? Should I get anything else before the install (not much time/money though)? Should I get anything else after its installed? I know this subjuect has been discuseed several times, and I have gathered lots of info from them, but I wanted people to respond to ME. Its just not the same reading someone else's responses. :P Only because these are the final preps towards a HUGE step for me. Thank you! :7 :thumbsup

Perfectly normal - we've all felt that before. It lasts about 5 seconds once the install is done and you feel it for the first ime - after that, you're left with the big "shit eating boost grin" that doesn't go away for a month or so. You'll see.

hell yeah....i'm nervous too, and i still have a month or so before i get my kit. i'm even nervous to have the compression checked...i'm worried that it'll be low and i won't be able to install the kit right away!

We're gonna have fun puttin that thing in. Your won't be able to quit smiling the whole drive home. :7 I think you've got all the bases covered and I'm expecting everything to go smoothly.

Goodluck man! you wont regret it. I'd get a catback exhaust, at stage 2 boost levels you will need bigger than stock pipeing.

I still remember my shit-faced grin. :7

I still like driving with my windows open as much as possible just to hear that ridiculously loud spooling noise our cars make, when turbo'ed. I don't really have words to accurately describe the additional power you'll feel after you have the turbo in, after being n/a for so long, even with only 5 bs.

heh, yeah its a kick in the ass install but man its worth it! yeah id def go with some 3 inch piping!

My installs coming up too. But this reply is mainly just to wish you, and the rest of you doing the install, good luck.

1 week from today! AHHHHHHHH! My nerves have calmed down. Im not as nervous now, but im sure in a week they will be back up. :D haha
