BEGI Kit Install Pics
For anyone that cares, here's some install pics on my BEGI S1 kit. Has been pretty painless so far. Here's a link to what came in the kit:

Got most of the demo work done. This shows the existing coolant routing
Signal source fitting. Didn't realize there was a check valve in the line (should of read the manual more closely) - kind of cut into it but still works.
New coolant fitting for the engine block.
Hose routing from new fitting to lower radiator inlet.
Heater hose gets routed around the intake side of the engine.
New fitting installed in upper radiator hose where the heater hose connects to.

Protective wrap for the heater hoses added.
Oil supply line. Kit came with a T fitting but I had already bought a sandwich plate.
Access to the oil filter is still okay.
Turbo and manifold come with studs and fittings installed.
Oil return line and one of the water lines gets installed while they're still accessible.
Two piece down pipe.
Had to grind a small amount of weld off for a flush fit to the turbo.

wow pretty nice. I like. Love that Power steering cooler. How much for that thing if you don't mind me asking? good luck with the build. Btw the FMIC is not too hard to install i have a decent size on my car and with help of whaaamx5 it was a joke. Easiest thing ever.

Had cut a little sheet metal (blue area) to get the turbo in. Other option would have been to remove the bottom front stud off the exhaust manifold.
According to the manual, fastners have to be tightened in a specific manner to keep the converter from touching the bottom of the car. Turbo to DP, DP to CAT, Turbo to Manifold.
Plenty of clearance for the CAT, but the smaller tube on DP is touching the under body and the lower tube has minimal clearance between the frame.

Pretty sure all PS cars have a PS cooler. The fluid gets hot and will cavitate or boil out if it gets way to hot. This is obviously a problem. The PS cooler is a coil of tubing in the mouth of the car. Maybe NA's don't have one, i don't see how that is possible though.

The stock cooler in the NB models is in the way of the intercooler. So we replace it to make installation easier. We could include spacers for it, but then you have to look at the cooler and the intercooler. Not very pretty.
As for the downpipe hitting the tranny, shoot me an e-mail - I have a part I can send you. There is a motor mount spacer that will help with clearances.
