well i was installing a star stage 2 on a spyder. 420a turbo kit--4g64 isn't very easy. it took alot of custom fabrication.

what was so hard about the oil feed/return line portion?

i thought that the fuel portion was a bitch. it wasn't hard but had a took sometime trying to mount everything.

I second that.

The fuel was a total pain in the ass, especially when Hahn sends you the wrong part...

Well, even though I don't have a turbo, I've helped install two HRC kits. And even though I didn't mess with the oil line in either of them, from what I heard, it's a beeotch. :P Personally, I thought the turbo/mani install was tricky since we couldn't get Uber's down pipe to bolt up right after we had it on and we had to pull the whole assy and ended up grinding some material off a couple spots so we could get a nut to tighten right. Ugh. That was fun.

Then Uber gave me a hard time for being slow and careful when I used a Dremel to cut a hole in his splash shield to run the IC piping through. :rolleyes Uber...

Oh hush up. Lord knows I appreciated your help :P

The oil return line was easy, fuel setup was easy (thx run4cvr) but the oil feed line was a god damn mother fucking bitch.

I think the most difficult for me was the oil feed line fitting. The second hardest was finding the fttings for the SFMU. The thrid was wiring all the gauges. I hate wiring, and i dont fit to well under the dash.
