I just bought the hrc stage 1 turbo kit for my 420a and i wanted to know from anyone else how has bought/installed this kit how difficult the install was and what i should expect.

Thank you.

I'm a complete moron and I did it. I haven't had any problems to this day. As long as you have the right tools then you should have no problem. We're all here to help you out too. The HRC instructions are pretty thorough and if you search around on here you'll learn a lot that'll help you along the way.

I'm not a moron but let's just say I learned how to change my oil 9 months before I installed the kit by myself. You need tools (believe me, it's really important). I recommend breaking up the install. I started, one week end at a time, first with the in tank fuel pump, then inline fuel pump, all the electronics. Then once those are done, tackle the actual oil, manifold, turbo, etc... Goodluck and the stock manifold part is a total bitch to get off. I paid the muffler guy $20 to loosen the manifold bolts.

thanks for www.kaptainmyke.com for the sig hosting

you need an oil sending socket.... and a good set of mech's gloves.. probably a impact gun to get the exaust bolts off at the cat. mine had to be heated and use the impact gun to get off...........

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

while you're waiting for your kit to come in...pick up some 8mm 4G63 exhuast studs and bolts. The provided HRC exhuast bolts can suck my wang imo

You can pick them up from any dealer or RRE.
