Default RE: Turbo install problem

Ok, so there I was marveling at the fact that I had actually finished installing the turbo and mounting the intercooler (I still have to take my dremel to the bumper). As I check the oil and coolant levels, I remember that I also changed the power steering cooler. So I check that also. Low and behold, it's practically empty and it just hit 5pm. So now I have to wait untill tomorrow to go to the stealership and get some power steering fluid.

If anyone is thinking about getting the greddy fmic, don't. It is a complete PITA to install. There are no instructions at all. Anywhere. And I still have to make a bracket so I can put the air pump motor back in. In the end I'll probably have over 2 full days devoted to the intercooler install alone.

The GT2X kit and inlet pipe kt were put together well, but the instructions left a lot out. ATP was very helpful providing directions and answering all my questions.

I'll be writing a tutorial/diy guide later this week on both of the kits.
