Default GReddy turbo kit install on EM1. Intructions anyone??

I did search, but most the thread i found have dead links and not pics on them. Does anybody have any instructions on how to install this kit, I picked up semi-used kit locally and want to install over the weekend.



Im going to be running a p28 tuned with chrome pro.
Any tips for a guy that is going to be boosted for the first time? TIA

its pretty easy to install turbo kits
if you can basicly install a header you can do this

u can hook up your bov vaccum on your fpr hose

for the wastegate most people use the brake booster line

as for the conversion
all you need is the conversion harness kit and you be set

hey, congradulations on ur kit, it looks very clean, i am runnin the same kit slightly modified on my slightly modified jdm gsr motor, makes good power, quick spool and lots of torque, u'll have lots of un trust me eventualy u'll want more power and thats what im goin thru now, im sellin my kid barely used. but anyways the nut ur talking about is on the waistgate actuator arm, its basically used so u can adjust the length of the arm which holds the waistgate flapper closed. basically if u have the arm too long, the waistgate will open up earlier and even if u turn the boost up with a boost controller, u'll get a crazy spike. for example, my waistgate actuator arm was adjusted long and when i turned boost up via manual boost controller, i was gettin spike up to 10 then drop off to 5, i was adjusting the spike part (10psi) and not the initial boost (5psi). so i then shortened the length of the actuator arm bye tightning that nut slightly, about halfway up the threads so that if u pulled on the actuator arm, it would only open the flapper about quarter inch or so, no more, and now the difference in boost spike and initial boost aint bad, like one pound difference, spike to 10psi and fallling to 9psi (not bad). sorry i wrote a shitload tryin to explain but i hope this helps. goodluck with everything u can im me on aim (waleegator) if u need any more help.
