I forgot to say what one need to do to fit the tse kit
First of all: this is my intercooler routing:
a 135 degrees elbow shorted to around 100 degrees
a different route of the ps tank
I rotated the tank too, and used the oem pipe and clamps
the exhaust obviously
the intercooler routing also have a 45 degrees elbow and a 90 degrees at the end
there aren't other things to do to fit it, it's a pnp kit after all.
the filter is temporary here, until I have a smaller one to fit
after the break-in
BTW, I started to make the oil catch tank
dual -10an feed and one big *** 34mm breather filter
this is what it looks like:
after cleaning, very fallout4 style
Tomorrow I will weld two -10an bungs on the valve cover and install it

We looked at that briefly but decided against it. On an aftermarket engine mount it's probably OK. On stock mounts, no way. We have a prototype extension hose that routes the PS hose around the back of the oil drain and then back forward to maintain the flexibility needed in that hose.
For the ic coupler, we are using a 60deg bend that fires straight down next to the ac compressor, but yours works too. It's definitely tight in there but doable.

Oh, I forgot to say, since I'm using the internal 250 kPa map sensor I've turn the boost down to 200kPa because stayin at 245 makes it hit boost cut with the colder air.
Well, I turned down to 180kPa and it's creeping at 250+ after 6000rpm anyway, what the...?
I've got the medium boost actuator set to 8 turns of preload, the manual says it's around 10psi, so ok, it's 10 psi, but the creep is real.
Anyone experienced this? I cannot drive on track with that kind of power, it's too much
Oh, a 4 bar map sensor is on the to-do list

14 half turns
My instinctive logic told me pulling out the spring, by preloading, would 'help' the boost-preassure push open the wastegate. your kind of pulling it towards opening the wastegate

but looking at the physics:
Newtons III. law
F= Pressure * Area = Hooks Law = konstant * x (spring displacement)
increasing preload = increasing x ==> must leads to an increase in Pressure to overcome equilibrium

Yesterday I decided 220 kpa was not enough for... well scare me again, so I've made my first pcb using eagle
I'm using the 12v supply for the wideband, analog GND for reference and the external map pin for the reverant ms2, oh and it's a 400kPa sensor
tomorrow I will find out what 260 kPa seems like on a efr 6758
