Something I always use for doing work the first time is take pictures with a digital camera, so you can go back and look for reference if you forget something.

It will take you half the time to put everything back on. It did me and I even had to tweak lines to work.

The K04-GT2860 I bet I could swap out in one day with the factory K04, since its a pure bolt on. No adjustments, line tweaking or making sure the turbo is clocked right for the UICP.
Good to know. I'll prolly be doing this after I get my car in Hawaii

I watched Brian weld it on my turbo, then go bead blast the compressor cover with the new tip on it, then re-assemble the whole turbo.
So did he just do this for you or are all of the 2871's now coming like this?

If someone is using the 2860, be extra careful and do not break that piece you need it.

I saw some of the cores Brian had, there where some with that line attached to the turbo and the nipple of the valve cover broke off inside the other end lol.
This would make me nervous, I tend to be a little impatient.

Extremely valid point...Although, nobody can see the GT28 under the hood while it sits in the partking lot...but your thoughts have definitely made an impact on where my Visa will ring up

I don't think that tool works very well on the line that goes from the valve cover to the turbo. I couldn't get it off nicely when I replaced my valve cover

Go to the Advance web site and read the customer reviews. The ratings are very different for different tools.

I bought one at my local Harbor Freight (someone on the forums recommended it), but I haven't used it yet.

If it is like my old kit i would say at least 400 or a little more depends on the tune and other things come into play. I just got a new tune update on 26psi and wow it moves. Will try to get video of tonight if i can find a race.
