Yup. Yesterday we installed.

Headers, Turbo, Inlet, Injectors, Fuel Pump and FMIC.

Do you know who painted those headers? I don't think its a high temp paint (although I know even a high temp will smoke a little), the paint was burning off the second I started the car. Lots, and lots of smoke. They were a PITA to install, had to remove the subframe, all the studs and jack the motor up just to make them fit lol.

I just sprayed the Headers with some VHT High Temp... it said 2000 degrees!

Glad everything worked out.

Hah, its better now. All the smoke went away pretty much. I had a small oil leak at first but thats fixed and I think that contributed. Everything I've heard says that you'll still get smoke even after spraying with high temp so I was pretty sure it would go away, thanks for the heads up on it.

The car sounds soooooo different. Really has a higher pitch to it, and it sounds quieter. It's gonna take some getting used too. Can't wait til I can actually drive it hard, I bet I'll love it then!
