Send him a picture of your set up. He should be able to copy it by looking at it. All you really need is a saw and some hand tools.

That depends are you going to run A/C and also are you willing to cut up the car? Are you running stock turbo manifold so on & so on. If you want help you will get here maybe post pics of the FMIC just so everyone is on the same page.

i removed ac and ps. the kit its a universal kit. core is 27x12x3 with universal piping. im gonna be running a hybrid turbo with stock exhaust manifold and standalone so no afm or fuel pump resistor in the way, my car does have the factory fog lights which i would like to keep. i wanted to keep the front bumper support but that might be impossible so i guess that will have to go.

i wanna relocate the battery as well, waiting for a friend to send me the kit, 2.5" piping. i already have the greddy compression tube.

well as far as keeping the bumper support and fogs, your going have to mount it in front of ur radiator in the engine bay or work it underneath the relays next to the hood latch. its gonna be hard doing it urself. that means alot of bends, alot of couplings(welding is better) and alot of headache. good luck man
