Default Kenne Bell 02 GT

Getting ready to order me a Kenne Bell, was going to go with the intercooled one.

What are the dos and don'ts, is there anything i need to look into before my order, what do i need to watch out for when installing.

Also this is going to be a daily driver, if tuned correctly i shouldn't have a problem right?

kenne bell kit comes with EVERYTHING you need. even comes with a tune but please dont run on just that. drive it to the dyno after install and have them check it out.

the only thing you need to think about (since KB comes with all the bells and whistles) is if you want to go ahead and do full exhaust (headers) now if you dont have it, because you will have to re-tune for that if you do it 3 months down the road.

i probably wont be doing headers, mainly cause of the pain they are to install, and i would go with the long tubes, which means i need to change my xpipe, and then i run the chance of not getting my tranny out when i need to do a clutch change without removing the long tubes, ehh just a headache i dont want.

And the install is pretty straight forward right?

You can make right over 500 with the 2.1l at max boost(14psi)... and an otherwise stock top end....just an fyi

The 2.1 is 5k for the intercooled one and comes with EVERYTHING... the 2.6 is 5500 and is a "tuner kit"(everything but the fuel system and "tune"

Which is why I'm sticking with the 2.1, plenty of power to spare before I need to start a rebuild.

Yea you won't need anything. Its a good kit. Id just get the biggest one so that i don't have to swap out. But im not gonna do a blower til everything is forged and ready to go haha.

Good luck w/ the install...and we want pics/vids.
