Power!!
Subscribing cause everyone loves a good train wreck.
Seriously good luck. And I would listen to the man^^. The best time to fix your mistakes is as soon as your figure it out. Otherwise you'll just make more work for yourself later when you kick yourself for not doing it right the first time.

not to disrespect Jeff or anything but if I do reinstall the injectors, that would make the entire INT-X tune off because they are tuned for the injectors to be installed in this specific way...
and as of right now my car is still running, but I am putting the turbo on today so yea

that's the only one on the INT-X no?
I'll have to stay off boost and stuff, and log some data on the INT-X before I can get the car to you to tune, then you can pull the injectors and reinstall them or whatever the hell you want at that point......this is tiring and the turbo's heavy T.T

Ok all!!! the second day of the install is done! I finally got the Turbo IN!!!
some things I want to point out about the Mazsport turbo kit for all to know before they buy
1. The kit, is a complete kit, and by complete, I mean they do give you everything you need to install THEIR turbo onto your car...........unfortunately, this means that if you decide not to put in anything that they gave you such as Motormounts or APV cover.......YOU CANNOT FIT IN THEIR TURBO!
2. putting in a Mazsport type 1 kit means you will, inevitably RAISE your engine's height, I think by about 7-8mm
3. The APV will now be on the entire time, ALL THE TIME now with this car
4. the turbo is a huge pain in the *** to put in, I had to lower the entire front underbrace assembly to put in that humongous beast............

I think the thread lost it's drama when I didn't end up destroying my car 
well we still have today I guess, I gotta finish everything today

We don't want to see you blow it up, we just wonder if it's inevitable.......(and not because it's you!)
