The instructions that came with mine are just as fuzzy and cockeyed as what you see in the link.

PLEASE, BEFORE YOU DO THIS, ASK QUESTIONS! OR IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS FUNNY, LET US KNOW.
Post 22, last picture is how the Vortech should be. The vaccum on top I believe gets tee'd off to the stock FPR?

Other then that,
I kept all the turbo stuff (turbo, mani, WG, Greddy DP, Stock DP) together and bolted it all in at once. To me, It made it alot easeir, unless you have a weird ratchet that you can easily get to the Greddy DP bolts ( NOt saying you should do it, but if you think its easy for you, then go for it)
So, Remove stock header bolts, the bolt that goes to the tranny, and then the first two cat bolts, remove all of that and bolt on the stock exhaust downpipe to the greddy down pipe.
Remove all your stock Intake plumping.
Its easeir to also hook up your Oil line to the block now, while nothing is in your way.
Then Put on your Manifold with everything attachted. (turbo, mani, WG, Greddy DP, Stock DP)
Note. Not sure how big you are, but im kpretty small and not that strong and was able to get in and out as all in one peice.
Then, Remove your passenger wheel and get a pair of needle nose pliers for that dam oil return line! Good luck, but wasnt too bad for me.
You can now go ahead and start putting on your intake plumbing stuff, your idle contol hose, Your BOV, J pipe, Crank case ventilation vaccum line, afm, air filter.
You can do this before your turbo work, or you can do it after, but be ready with a timing light to retard your timing, unless you haev some sort of timing control.
I think I covered everything, If you have ANY qeustions, or more detail to something, Please, let us know, Because I know I probably missed something. And if im wrong on anything, Let me know.
