before you install the turbo, move the wires and hoses from the seam on the firewall and beat it up flush with a large hammer. the extra 2-3 inches you will get will make the difference between it being an easy job and you cussin so bad the pope will be sending a herd of nuns over to slap you.
also, put the down pipe in between the block and cab before you put the turbo on. there is a lot more room to put the pipe in without the turbo in the way.

Incase you dont have it already, here's the instructions from Banks. Follow it, and you'll have no problem.

I'm still waiting for mine as well. I ordered it something like 2 weeks ago. It might help to organize the bolts and fasteners before hand so the install goes a little easier. I might even look into a new fastener kit because some of the bolts I have for mine aren't in the best condition.

Just remeber the downpipe fits you may think it won't once you try but keep messing with it and it'll go in.

to buy a brand new kit from banks its gunna run you about 2600 depending on what transmission you have. i paid 500 for my wastegated set up. mine was fairly new and almost compleat. just make sure if you buy a used one to bring the parts list with you so you know whats missing. some parts are hard to find.
