As far as I know that is how the kit is. Don't think they did that.

 

The jagged cutouts that look like they were made by a 3 year old? I wasn't referring to the tubing.

 

it is my first time ever to install such a kit and you can call it self installation since the shop had zero experience and I had to supervise everything.

So yes it took a while because of a lot of reasons:

-time zone ( waiting at least for a day to have a response because of time difference )

-weekend ( in Saudi NO work on thursday and friday , so if we got stuck on saturday we have to wait till monday for people in US to get back to work, so that straight of 4 days with no work)

-shipping ( we damaged 2 water lines and some spacers were missing so we had to wait for at least a week to ship each part from germany or US)

-fabrication ( monster IC brackets, tight fitment intake, spacers ... etc )


I have been told that it takes good shop 40 to 50 hours to do a clean installation for such a kit. So far it took us 75 straight hours which is not bad comparing to well trained shop.

Over all, I wanted everything right. I don't mind spend 2 months than damage the engine. now it's running perfect and I'll starts testing it once I'm back home.

 

6speeders... please give Abdullah credit where credit is due.. I installed almost the same kit and i myself am not a mechanic that does this sort of job day in and day out. This kit is not designed as a bolt on kit. Even for a shop that has never done an install like this on a porsche, the outcome on appearance maybe the same or worse. trimming that fender liner isn't the easiest thing since it has a big curve in it. Now if you hand over your car to the company that is selling the turbo kit, of course the installation will be perfect in appearance and presentation (they have done it a dozen of time to know how to trim and modify things to sit perfectly). Ask yourself one thing, how many fender liners did these company go thru their first time around??

 

Thumbs up guys .. it seemed to be a hard mission to u cayenne_ksa .. but u did it
ALM6AWWA3 congratz on ur monster .. am verry happy to see such car in q8 .. i hoped that long time before and now am living the dream to see many guys in kuwait doing such porsche projects .. cant wait to see ur car in q8 streets.

 

If you don't have the proper tools this is the end result.
Put in your mind guys, over here it is hard to get the parts you need, we don't have the stores like in USA you can get what you want in a min, here sometimes if we need some special tools we order it from USA imagine!!

<O

 

Lol thanks guys for all the support and I believe a mission just a complished and these details clean or not untidy over make up not so important for me to be honest I believe am more than happy with the result and that what matters
now let me finish the stupid vecation and go back to drive the car and post up some v box numbers or if Abdullah give me the honor and try it for mr I'd really apreciate it ehehhehe

 

Simply awesome

 

I went from the full k24/20 complete full proto kit to 3076 alfa in one whole day of work, then several programs, but install was easy....

 

Here comes another genius explaining how quick he was
I admit that the guys in the garage wasn't the right people with exp it was there first time and they had short on the lifter short in the equipment and Todd from protomotive sending missing parts and things like that this all delay the project but thanks god every thing is done now

 

It isn't done until I get to drive it bro!

 

Karim bro u'll defo drive it
but help me to explain for the marvels comics Heros how it's different here to finish a project

 

Just showing it has been sorted.... Not being a genious or anything like that....
