Not really sure if I'll be fixing this right now. Its highly possible I may just say goodbye and go to something more reliable.

Default He can get to it without pulling the motor or subframe. My mechanic put my K04s in without pulling
the motor or moving the subframe.

Its unfortunate, but I'm having a very hard time justifying the expense right now.

Default IMO, dont skimp on a turbo install. Have a pro pull the motor..
this way they can give everything a once over before you install fueling and up the boost.

It could save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
