Ok well i purchased a turbo kit from viper966 around june and installed it myself about 2-3 day install time, between having to get the oil pan taped for the oil return, buying misc. fittings, little things. It was Fairly weasy to do, viper supplied all the important main parts that i needed, piping, turbo, wastegate, injectors, BOV, some neccesary fittings, hoses for the coolant and the oil lines, all clamps and couplers, intercooler, prob a couple things i missed, but about 98-99% everything i needed for the install. BUT there were a couple of little quarks and problems i ran into while installing the kit. BUT VIPER WORKED VERY CLOSELY TO HELP FIX ANY AND ALL PROBLEMS. he was ALWAYS an e-mail away responding within 30 min. It was by FAR the BEST turbo install i've ever gone through. There were some slight modifacations that were needed (as in almost all MAJOR projects) such as, to mount the intercooler, and i had to cut a few inches off of the piping to better fit, but NOTHING major. Below are some pictures i have going through the install, and showing the quality of the fitment.
Any other Questions people have about the kit that viper supplies or about the install feel free to ask and post comments,

 

Looks pretty good. Have you got it dynoed yet?

 

man i cant figure out the blue thing inline with the ss line... coolant hose?

 

/\ That is a Inline Oil Filter.

 

Piggy Back or stand alone? And Which one?

 

I have haltech E6x, and yea its an inline oil filter, its a gt series turbo so there none rebuildable, i want to protet that turbo at all costs, no dyno yet, but at 9psi i'm putting down around 240-250, if i try accelerating from a slow roll in first gear, when boost kicks in it will just spin the tires, and i have pretty sticky tires on it, if i "chirp" 2nd it will spin them forever, and theres a long "chirp" in 3rd, on that kit viper made me a 3" downpipe right from the turbo, havent taken it to the track yet, but i stay even with M3's ! (haha bryan) and M3s run low to mid 13s. boost controller is on the way. This kit that VIPER is putting together for everyone that buys it, is REALLY an amazing kit, and what was even better was his help/tech support! Thanks Viper

 

Garrett has a exchange policy now for the GT turbos, so if you ever have a issue and you need it swapped (there is a fee but very cheap compared to buying a new turbo) let me know.

 

1997tibby,

thanks for the nice writeup, feedback, pics and etc about viper's kit.. this really gave us a very good idea with viper's kit and it'll help fellas here who are consider going into it

btw, if you dont mind me asking... what is exactly the setup that you've got? parts list?

 

Lol, I know what you mean about spinning tires. Remember, I bought Vipers car.... wink1.gif

 

/\ Wait till you get over 400whp you think it is bad now. My car is useless to drive on the streets it blazes the tires all the way until to redline in 4th.
