ITP Regulated Return Kit - Installed

I just completed this job. I pulled the turbo and pedistal and overhauled the turbo and got rid of the EPBV stuff. This was all pretty easy stuff. The fuel kit is a great kit and is pretty straight forward install. I screwed myself in thinking I had the baby butt lined up on the turbo/up-pipe. Fired it up, no leaks (fuel) and turned the DP up to check for exhaust leaks... YEP BIG TIME. Fixed now though. Haven't done any driving yet, but I think it's going to be sweet.

The reason for posting though: to anyone who is scared to pull the turbo for the first time, it's not that bad of job. Once you get the y-pipe out of there, it opens the area up a lot.

I'll report back tonight after the drive home!

I agree. I think pulling the turbo is a must for this kit.

Those rear fittings would have been a nightmare with the turbo installed. Especially reading the warning about breaking of the check valve into the head!
