Made some headway this weekend. Ran into some hiccups, but will see how things turn out. Not sure if anyone else who's installed this kit has run into the same problems or not, but if so, please chime in!!

We have the turbo, wastegate, oil savenge pump, and intercooler mounted. I'll take some better pictures next time. Everything mounted up the way it was supposed to, but tight spaces and the lift being taken made things a little bit harder to do with the car on jack stands. If you have a lift, use it!



The oil lines going to the turbo were updated but the installation instructions were not, so we were scratching out heads for a bit trying to make sense of the instructions. The thermal wrap included in the kit was not the correct one as well but they shipped the updated ones out on the same day. @Mrc@ptuning responded almost immediately on FB and got the guys at the @ptuning shop to email me the diagram and Mr. C made sure I understood where everything was supposed to go. Level of communication is first rate!



I know, can't tell much from the picture above, but we were just so goddamn excited to get the intercooler on. Also, we wasted more than a few minutes after bolting stuff up under the car admiring how well everything was fabricated and laid out, i'm sure i'm not the first person to say this.

On to my problem/ question. I've got the RCE T2's installed on the car with Raceseng camber plates. Camber was set at -3 before I started this turbo install. After we re-installed the sway bar included in the kit, we proceeded to install the end links. I turned the hub assembly to get some clearance to make the connections and noticed that it was extremely close on top. When I turned the assembly one way, the top would scrape against the wheel well. When I turned the assembly the other way, the bottom of the coilover would come into contact with the body of the end link.





Will this problem will solve itself when I lower the car back down onto the ground? I'm pretty sure I have the endlinks situated the correct orientation, the top facing the rotors, and the bottom facing the motor. Patrick at the shop advised to reel in the camber a little from -3 degrees and it may solve the problem. I obviously haven't screwed with it and just thought I'd deal with it later. If anyone has any insight, please advise?
