to those of you who did your own 3sgte swaps Options

[brianforster]

what were your car experiences when taking on the project..

lets say 1 is you didnt even change your own oil, 5 is being able to change your timing belt and 10 is doctor tweak (<3)

what would you rate yourself? how long did it take? what was the most frustrating part? (besides wiring, because my harness is already complete)

PS. doc if you read this, i still wann have the swap done by you, because of your crudentials, i trust you, and i know everything would be done right.. but my friends have some good points and are really trying to make me do this myself!

thanks all

i got 2 of this kit from this very same guy. its all 90 degree bends since i got a clocked turbo and dont need the 180 degree bend up top most people go with. the piping and the silicone couplers are great quality tho like i said i had to replace the clamps. also i'd like to add i've bought a few aluminum bends and silicone couplers off ebay and they've all been great quality.

bboy

so it took you 12 90 degree bends to route your intercooler? im confused as to how you did it all with no straight pipes, maybe im missing something about intercoolers.. hehe

also, whered you buy your new couplers (im asking you a lot of questions because i really like the look of your intercooler hehe)
