there is about 3/4" between the shock tower and the turbo. but im finding it slightly difficult to fit the intake piping but its working.

Do you have the instructions that go with the kit? I just purchased a motor that has this kit installed on it and would like to get ahold of the instructions if possible. Is there any way you could scan them and email them to me when you get a chance?

Wow, car is coming along nicely. I love how everything looks from the filter to the turbo. I need some boost in my life. How much did everything run you?
