- my AMS turbo support bracket needed to be drilled and fab'd a bit to work

- we had to fab my alternator bracket a bit

- had to lengthen oil return line as it was a bit taught

And then as has been mentioned already, if you go beyond standard bore, gasket choices are not great. Stick to standard bore and you can use HKS.

Also you need a modified water pump which I got mine from Magnus.

You need to degree the cams and use adjustable cam gears as the factory timing marks are a no go since you are running a higher deck.

Otherwise it's a good choice but there are little issues. I think I've ended up with a very responsive setup given the power output of my car.

I think it would be awesome to have a 2.1l the revs to the moon on the street.
