Welp, the install is complete aside from the BAP. I need to find some installation notes on how and where its mounted exactly. I have yet to take apart the interior so i dont want to break anything.
But the install went fairly well, took about 12-13 hours total. The directions were about 90% accurate with a few typos. But Travis said hes redoing them in PDF format. So that should be a plus.
Ill post pictures either later tonight or tomorrow, and try to explain the steps like the previous post. Ill also have the initial start-up video posted sometime tomorrow as well. Cant wait to start data-logging

But Travis! I have a question, well two. Better BAP instructions as to how and where to mount other than B-Pillar and the wiring diagram. And, the other question is, that lower plastic pan that goes under the front splitter, it says to cut out the portion below the air filter. Is this a good idea on a Daily Driver? The car sees rain. Thats the only other portion I have off the car right now. So once I get that info I can finish.

Thanks man! and again, i'll post pics and vids soon!

You can leave us hanging until tomorrow... Post a couple pics! Ca'mon

You're already almost done?! Props to you sir!

Yeah man, hows this look?

Ok, the first pic is the discharge manifold. It was the last thing I got to do last night. I mounted the bypass tube and installed the rubber gaskets for each port. Simple, easy. Then I went to bed dreaming of Kenne

The second pic We mounted the manifold and fuel rails w/ injectors. I didn't snap a pic of the process with the injector install into the rail, but its fairly straight forward. You dont have the injectors clocked at a weird angle anymore like you did from the factory. Theyre now 90º off the rail. We attached one of the two heat exchanger lines in the back as well. You can see the other barbed fitting(silver) on the back drivers side.

Pic three, is the bracket that houses the idler pullies. You have to remove a couple water pump bolts and 3 timing chain cover bolts and theyre replaced with some hex heads.

Pic FOUR, yes I know Travis I fucked up. The left idler is supposed to be in the upper left most portion of that bracket. We ended up realizing this later and moved it.

Pic Five is splicing into the MAF harness. You have to cut off one of the wires and cap it off from the factory connector and run another wire to it from a supplied harness.

Pic 6 has the SS Fuel line connected and zip tied in place, we also have the idler moved(to the upper left) and we started fucking with the PCV lines. Moving right along!

She looks right at home brother! Can't wait to hear her scream

The next pic is of the EVAP that you mount to the firewall, some assembly was required. Very straightforward though.

Cant remember why I took the next pic. Its been a long day!

Obviously here is the freshly mounted heat exchanger. The fittings were on the passenger side. One up high with a 90º elbow coming down, the other straight out from the side parallel with the ground. The top fitting had the passenger side line coming from the back of the discharge manifold connect to it with some 90's
The lower connects to your intercooler pump. Its mounted with these two tomahawk looking brackets that use the front bumper mounting hardware.

The next pic is of the heat exchangers pump. It has a small harness coming off to the passenger side with a factory style clip. There is another harness that you need to tap into the bottom of the fuse box in the engine compartment. What a pain in the ass that was! I think tapping into a simple fuse would've been a better option. But I guess it looks cleaner. You strip a section of I think was the fuel pump power and tie in the heat exchanger pump power. The harness that goes from the fuse box now to the pump is extremely long... I dont know what you're compensating for there Travis/Kenne Bell.

The next pic we started changing the spark plugs to some NGK 6510's a step colder. I do recommend doing the damn plugs before you start zip tying all the hoses and connectors. Also we removed the factory PCS valve fitting coming off the drivers valve cover. Replaced with a metal version. Also, I mounted the resevoir for the cooling system on the blower.

Wallah! We're getting somewhere. The blower is finally mounted. After a few tries to get it to seat properly we finally found a weird configuration of fuel lines, pcv lines, and the liquid cooler lines that sprout from the back of the discharge manifold. As noted in the instructions make sure you find out whats binding, dont force it down.

anybody know if KB is still offering 15% off of their kits?

The next pic we're now mounting the throttle body. A small spacer and a couple gaskets. Pretty simple and straight forward. You DO need to take apart the stock TB to get the motor and swap the innards to the new 168mm TB. Also you have to bend down a small tab on the drivers side strut tower to get a little extra clearance.

The next pic, the TB is mounted and we're trying to work the lines for the Liquid cooling's resevoir. We had a couple small hiccups due to thinking we had too much hose. Ended up cutting some portion of it off and shot ourselves in the foot. But we ended up doing a fix involving an extra 90 elbow and a small section of hose.

Last but not least we mounted the bypsass valve, tube and the damn belt. That thing was a pain in the ass trying to get the thing mounted. We ended up maxing out the stock tensioner and had to try and pull that damn belt over the blower pulley. We ended up getting a few ribs of the belt on the pulley and turning the crank over by hand and it walked itself on.

I couldn't of done all this without the help of Alex(sandeale, a member on this forum, and a friend from work). Between lending tools and countless hours getting everything squared away and deciphering the typo'd instructions from here and there. We got it done. Again, i still need to install the BAP and im waiting on Travis to find out if it's necessary to cut the lower plastic cover below the air filter. Im just concerned about rain/wet roads and possibly soaking the filter.

The last thing I did was change the oil and swap to my start-up tune. As soon as I get the BAP installed, let the datalog begin!

Overall the install was pretty easy. I didn't have any real exotic tools, mainly used some hand tools and some allen key sockets with a torque wrench. Some issues with the install manual included some typos. One with a type of rubber hose to use, that started some headache... Also, it would've been nice if the hardware bags were LABELED. I spent a lot of time guesstimating what went where. But again, we still got it completed in a timely manner. I'm sure I could do this a bit quicker the next time around if anyone local needs a hand.

I doubt it, I have spoken to Travis a couple of times about the setup and also directly with KB and nobody mentioned a sale....pretty sure that was just for BF....having said that, if somebody somehow maybe secretly offered me 15% off, it would be sold right away...hint hint

Omg you gave me the itch lol please post a video when you get it up and running haha I can't wait to see it
