I was missing a few things here and there and had to by a lot of other things to make it fit right. Its a good starter, but most of it needs to be customized and tweaked.
Whatever tho. I knew what I was getting into as far as having to customize but whatever.

Tranny will work. Alphabet soup SafcAvcr will work. That kit has horrible clearances and that's just the beginning. More people need to be vocal about him and the poor r&d he has put into his product specifically for the sc. You should list what didn't work so people working with a strict budget won't have a bunch of do-overs.

glad to see things are coming together nicely!
quick question..for your intake pipe did you just use a 3" 45 degree intercooler pipe? im trying to figure out the best way around the distributor and thought a coupler reducer and 3" intercooler pip would suffice.

if you use a 4" to 3" reducer and a 3" pipe you will clear the 4runner distributor cap on the XS kit no problem. I have pictures of my old setup like that.
If you want to run a 4" pipe, then thats where the problem starts, the pipe will rub against the top lead for the distributor. the 3" pipe vs 4" pipe did not affect my power at 9psi at all really so rock on that way until you delete the distributor. Its more for looks until you get to a certain power range then it makes a difference, and its probably much higher than 9 psi as a 3" pipe will still flow a good amount.

Yeah ive got a 3 inch 45 degree pipe coming out of the turbo with a 4 to 3 reducer. I still have slight fitment issues with the distributor but it should work. Im finalizing the install tomorrow and should have a bunch more pics. It runs right now but I have a few things to do.

did you have to make the holes on his manifold bigger to fit? I saw a shop install his kit once last year on a supra and it was a nightmare for them. Honestly if he has no customer service then buying china parts from him for more does not make sence. You can buy same parts on ebay for about 450 dollars cheaper. I'm learning alot on other peoples mistakes right now before i do mine. Good luck with your build, i'm sure once its done you'll be very happy!

Sorry to hear about the fitment issues.. sucked
This is why i've never bought Kits, i make my own same quality as the BL kits, Titan or MVP sells.
But then everyone has to start somewhere so i guesss it's cool sometimes you learn from own mistake,someone else will learn from yours...
If i can't talk to the seller over the phone, i am not buying anything from you, that's just the way i do business.
good luck.
