Installing Shanghai-S kit tomorrow..help?
So it's Sunday right now and my last box for my turbo kit comes in tomorrow. I will start removing some major parts in the morning. I was wondering if anyone has tips or tricks on installing the kit? The instructions on the disc doesn't really tell you what bags needs to be used during the installation. This is my first time installing a turbo kit. I have almost all the tools except for a timing light and Permatex sealer.
-Purchased MSPNP from a member on CR (was shipped on Friday)
-Purchased IAT sensor w/ pigtail (bought on sdaturday from DIYautotune.com)
-Purchased CXracing IC from a member on MT (shipped a week ago..)

First make sure you put together what you can put together such as all the fittings on the turbo, have all the hose clamps on the right couplers. Do your homework before you go to bed and you'll have an easier install. Don't connect stuff you gotta screw in though for example the oil drain.
Also ensure you have a serial port on yoru laptop, if u dont have one make sure you get the appropriate cable. At last make sure you read enough to have a clue what you're doing with megasquirt. And leave the wastegate flapper door disconnected so you're not spooling.
Also read the instructions few times before attempting the install and make sure you have all the tools necessary at hand. You should know the instructions so well that you can grab a part out of a plastic bag and know exactly where it goes to.

That's most likely an automatic transmission throttle body for your throttle position sensor. The manual transmission 1.6 engines had a useless on/off TPS.
That's just speculation though, there's no reason to send the entire throttle body, the sensor itself bolts right on.

I'll be heading to the post office in a bit to pick up my package

So far I removed the whole air filter assembly and unbolted the headers. I'm trying to remove the bracket that holds the piping after the headers but running through some trouble. I got (1) 17 bolt off but can't get the upper one off. Any ideas? tried using a box end wrench and it's not working.
