That actually looks like a pretty good kit for the price.

my X02 setup

here's my resently installed;
https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...6&postcount=15
note i don't have pwr steering
as mentioned, i had to shortened the end connecting to the TB elbow so the bend would clear the break fluid reservoir offering a more direct shot.
i didn't mention, like others having the same issue, the holes on the TB elbow didn't line up w/ the TB's studs. I had a welder re-fill the holes then i re-drilled.
someone in the thread thought my passenger side head light will not go down all the way. i haven't installed yet but i'm sure it will clear. i'm away from home right now but when i get back i'll confirm and post the results.
also not mentioned, the T-clamps that comes with the kit don't seal perfect. the section under the clamp's bolt is folded up on its edges and will not conform to the tube's circumference. i installed worm screw hose clamps and doubled up where i could.
it's an excellent well made system in my view even if you have the potential for 500 BHP. my car now runs beautiful from throttle response to full boost. i doubt a better value out there in both price and performance potential!! a brief setup description: 87TII, mild street port, Turbonetics hybrid w/Stage III turbine wheel (similar to the BNR stage 2, lots of turbine inlet porting, enlarged wastegate), 3" wire reinforced flex ducting between AFM and turbo, Rtek7 1.8 w/4x720cc, cat-less exhaust, set @ 13 psi boost.

Same as mine everything fits fine except tb-holes and pipe hitting brake reservoir. Modified and welded the pipe an it fits with power steering.

Going to paint pipes and intercooler flat-black in the future.

so tempting!!!! I've seen a couple Greddy kits on here that look identical, except they might have been 2.5" diameter, this kit's 2.75".

Dennik, won't you have a LOT of rubbing with the pipe clearance that tight?

Can you still retain A/C and Factory BOV with this kit?

A/C yes, factory BOV no, you will need to get a flange welded on there with an aftermarket BOV of your choice.

Take into consideration that you now have a intercooler in front of your radiator and a/c condenser, so temps should be considered.

Crap! I ordered an M2 FMIC on ebay. I guess if I HAVE TO mod it It's ok cause it was cheap.
I wanted to keep the factory bov though since I am still on the factory aFm. I can get a greddy bov and recirc kit though... : ) I just hate running the car with the tmic. It cant be doing much.. Thanks.

Heres the one I ordered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123

re BOV, I did using the existing 3/4" nipple on tube section connecting to the turbo.
The red arrow points to a 3/4"x5/8"x3/4" nylon "T" BARB (~$1). A special order at Do-It-Yourself Hardware that took 2 days to get. The yellow arrow is the section of hose connecting the BOV. The BOV is behind the charcoal canister which is barely seen on the picture. On the other side of the BOV, is a check valve to prevent air getting sucked in under vacumm. The check valve were installed between the smog air pump and the exhaust manifold in '70s GM cars. The 5/8" port of the BARB feeds the BAC.
