I finally got this kit installed last week, it took me about 4 days with the help of some friends. I used the Crazy Carls 2/3 compound kit for a 2nd gen 24v with an S300 turbo. This was not as easy as I thought it would be, a couple times I seriously considered going back to stock. Some of the issues were a result of the kit and some were not. The instructions were pretty vague and kind of a one size fits all deal. I wouldn't put this in the hands of a non mechanically inclined person and like any good install, I had parts left over. One thing that attracted me to this kit was not having to relocate the A/C, battery or heat exchanger. The aftermarket exhaust manifold was mostly to blame but the hot pipe between turbos was also partly responsible for me having to remove one of the metal heater core lines and go rubber all the way. The big turbo is currently using my A/C line as a pillow, pinched between it and the frame. There is some wiggle room but I didn't want to bend a line and lose my refrigerant. I have appointment in 2 weeks to have the system evacuated and the line removed and rerouted/replaced. Everything fits very tight together, the whole setup feels solid. The down pipe was shorter than my old one but I was able to cut a section from the old one to fill the gap. At least it doesn't touch my firewall any more. The truck is quieter at the tailpipe but whistles more than before. I haven't adjusted my tune or the wastegate yet, but I did notice my max boost has dropped on level 3(25psi vs 30) of my daily tune and gone up on level 6(35psi vs 30). I'll have to spend some time tweaking things, maybe drag the camper around as well.
