installing a single conversion?

i have my single kit comeing in the mail and what just dawned on me was how the install would go.

i have my effini 99 specs full non seq. all the block off plate are in position. so do i just remove all the things on the car and put the new stuff in place and just put the vacuum lines back on?

As in any car project, the results depends on the knowledge and skill of the person doing it.

...and a sutd removal socket set hehe.
Is the Kit all you have for the install? you know a single turbo conversion can be misleading to someone who is jumping right into it. I'm not sure if you have more upgrades other than the kit itself so I had to say something. Good luck.

Edit...
Now that I re-read your post, I'm not sure if you know what you're getting into. (Hopefully I'm wrong and my apologies if you do have everything nessasary to support the conversion).

I used this as-well as refference for my installation:

Also, search for "single turbo vacuum diagram" to find detailed info about vacuum routing and to identify solinoids etc...
If you find yourself in a bind during install, post pics with your questions so you can help from people here.
