Yep krazy. Put a nut on and the put another nut on and tight it to the 1st nut and then keep turning clockwise and it will thread in the stud. Same thing with taking a stud out but this time u put a wrench on the bottom nut and turn counter clock wise and stud will come out. Than vacuume piece is the grey ome right? With the black clip? Squeeze it on those rough tabs then use other hand a n d kind of wiggle it and pull out. Some are stuck on a little but ahould come right out. Wiggleing it should break it up a little and should come off. Make sure u squeeze the piece enough so it clears the edge tho.
Wow this job sucked a lot. I ran into three big headaches... Just finished thirty minutes ago and preliminary test drive shows an oil leak. I believe it's coming from the oil supply like to the turbo. Glad I didn't put the heat shield back on. Gonna do it in the am...

Thats sucks. Myself amd someone else took off my ko4 and put it back on. Wasnt that heat shield held by a triple squared? Or 1 of them? I thought it was on my car. Could be wrong. I was lucky enough to have no leaks either time but we ran into a few headaches. Luckily my buddy chad is well versed with figuring out problems and the 2 of us together got it easily done. Im sure u did but u did put a washer on both sodes of the banjos right? 2 washers for each banjo? Just wanted to make sure?
Your gonna really enjoy the added power. I drove mime for 3 days before I got it tuned. Ran good of course I didnt really hit full throttle but no pinging or detonation with stage 2 tune.
What tuner are u going with?

I am very jealous of your garage man. Fűcker lol. I do not have a garage or shop at my house. Hopefully ome day tho. Looks big and spacious.
Giac has an extreme file coming out next month.
Gonna blow the other tunes out of the water.
It will be great for track runs and drags. Or watermeth and all the time but I only use race mode on the track.
Good luck with fixing oil leak

had I known.... I would have.
I had my buddy. If you are buying new, and you are confident in yourself and taking out a lot of parts, do it. If you are dealing with used parts, I wouldn't do it.
I ran into issues because everything wasn't perfect.

Used k04 or used car? I'm at 45k miles and probably won't be k04 until after 100k. That's what I'm worried about, mostly haha

believe they're doing free installs on apr k04 kits purchased through them at this time too.
Then add in another $70 for 3 dyno pulls while you're there.

That sucks you had some issues working with it. What was the total install time?
I would say about 17 hours not including the DV relocate or boost gauge.
This included two separate trips to the hardware/auto stores looking for parts and any small meal breaks that I had.
The trips, downpipe stud, and custom turbo outlet piping sucked the most time out. Putting everything back together was the easy part.

Yeah I was right around the 15-16 hour mark my first time.
The second was around 2-2.5.
