    The instructions are very straight forward and it came with plugs for the sensors and they set it up for your application. At least the guys at Western Racing did it for me. I still need to have it power tuned. I have a gutted intake and am currenty running full boost, which I think the stock turbo release spring is a 15 psi, but I havn't gotten it that far yet still testing it out. Eventually it make get a 65mm throttle body and a bigger turbo so the SDS was a no brain-er for future upgrades. It started up first try and ran great.

    I will definitely build another when the time comes. DOHC is very cool. I didn't need to whack the firewall and the weight savings is great for the ride and frame (boxed)
    There is a guy here in ST. Louis running this motor base in a stang and gettin 1000hp.

    I you are ever near Morrinsville say Hey for me to me matey Mike Stinson. He has a 27 T Tub with a flatty and a helluva lot of decals. Curiously he drives on the wrong side of the car too.
    Cheers from the US
