i've been reading through that guys feedback, 99.8% of the people are happy with the product.
it clearly states that some pipes must be custom made, so i dont see why it wouldn't fit properly, considering it must be half custom.

something to think about

I purchased this kit for my stang about 4 months ago it came to my door in a big box in 2 days
fast shipping nicely wrapped....
I havent put it on yet.
I bought it then like an hour after I bought it i searched it and seen all the bad reviews.
Im like "ohh no what I have I gotten myself into......."
But after inspecting the kit it looks like pretty decent stuff I spun the turbos nothing hits looks good??
the intercooler looks good the piping everything looks good to me???
It came with everything you need except downpipes all the gaskets oil lines bov everything.
Im thinking 8 12 psi would be safe on these but if you wanted mega 20-30 psi you better step up to a better turbo.....
it seems the guys having trouble with these "never" put a turbo on try and run 20 pounds of boost and granede these turbos and then say ohh it was a piece of jap crap or they plumb in the oil lines with no oil restrictor to lower the 60 pounds of oil pressure at WOT and blow the oil seals out of the turbos.
for every bad review there are people running these things"who know how to put turbos on"and they are staying together but you just have to put them on right.
but then agian I havent put them on yet...................Ill keep you posted when I do get them on.
Im going to put mine in the back where the mufflers go so if you want the headers there for sale for 100 bucks. anyway good luck on your project
