Thanks man.. Will be posting initial pics soon. Just got back from autozone and bought my ps fluid and oil. I'm also painting all the charge pipes gloss black. I will beatrting that now. The ones it came with were corroded. So I'm stripping it, reserfacing it, then paint... It's gonna look bling! As for the ac line. Couldn find it on import parts pro. So I'm just going to improvise something.

Oh. Forget to ask. The new injectors didn't come with those injector spacers that it mentions in the instructions. Anyone know what they look like or can I buy them at HD??? Thanks

today, going to autostore to get a few bew coupler. the turbonetics couplers have a few holes in them so im replacing them. also getting a new air filter. hopefully i can start with the fuel pump and injectors later! more pics to come soon! BTW, my injectors are green and kinda small, i think those are the 440cc denso injectors that come with the kit? how would i get those spacers i need for them? what do they look like?
Those pipes are looking good 
For the spacer in the parts list does it list a measurement of it? If so try to find a washer at said thickness, or just stack a few together and you should be fine.

yea baby! lol its my home made paint booth! its acutally my garage though. i have a tone of extra paintings that didnt match in the house so i put them in the garage. lol. anyone know how many washers and or what size/diameter?? i need to get these today...Thanks all
i mis lead you with the a/c line. you wont find it at importpartspro but the oilpan spacer is there and ant other parts you need for the vq. you will have to look elsewhere for the a/c line of you want to change it out.

you cant use washers... the spacers are just under an inch in length and slide around the injector like a sleeve. i can check my garage to see if i have any more lying around but im not sure. it would be more like small pieces of aluminum conduit. if you call denso they might be able to send you some.
