What do you think a auto tc with a stage 0 full exhaust and an emange would run?

 

On an auto tC, you can expect to see 215-220whp and about 190-200ftlbs.

 

I'm planning to replace my cats with an s-pipe (and put on an o2 sim), and after that I've got the Borla exhaust, so I should have pretty clear airflow.

 

o my bad lmao, i thought u were auto lol

 

Does anyone know about how long it takes a relatively inexperienced guy (like me) to install to install this kit?

 

I would anticipate a whole weekend for the install just in case something goes wrong or you need a tool or something. It took me 2 days but I only have about 4 to 5 hrs to work on my car each day. Kaeon has a DIY I think in the tech section and that should help very much.

 

When you did the install, were you by yourself, with the necessary tools? Did you have previous experience with working on a turbo?

 

Never worked on a turbo car before but I have experience with a couple front wheel drive 4 cylinders before. I was also by myself and had all of the tools just my kit came in complete so had to but a couple nuts and bolts (I think I went to ace hardware like 8 times in 2 days).

 

Good to know. I'll be working on it probably with a couple other guys, who have much more experience with cars.
Are there any advices/precautions you could give me? Maybe tips on taking off tricky parts, tricky assembly, etc.

thanks

 

I personally hard a very hard time with the oil pan but in the Kaeon DIY (https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=103104) he suggests to use a torch which probably would have made my install at least 3 times easier. That really is the only thing to look out for.

 

hey but when you went to ace hardware, what kind of things did you need, because when i install my turbo i will only have my car.
