I will be including a recommended list of accessories, and if anyone wants to order a package with them, there will be a discount.

Also, some printouts of background articles so anyone new to this can study up on the basics without getting pounded by a bunch of strong opinions.

Further, the instruction manual will be improved and re-written, as overseas manuals are pretty tough to follow.

Example: you get ten bolts for the oil pan, but they don't tell you that you have to remove two studs from the bottom of your block (stock is 8 bolts + 2 studs), so you think you have two extra bolts.

Example: How to properly seal a pan, fittings, etc.

and so on... I'll try my best to make it complete, clear and informative.

Funny that you bought that up considering I literally fixed it three hours ago lol. It's now centered and no longer lopsided.

Garm, I'm not sure you can call 20 or so pictures thrown together in sequence a manual lol. Unless it's an "overseas" thing

And yeah you guys that are interested are so lucky that it's been tried and proven at this point. Some stuff was such a pain to figure out... Including, but not limited to, that oil pan situation.

I think it would be pretty neat if a couple base tunes could be thrown together. That way the buyer wouldn't even have to worry about that aspect. Of course, tuning is still an issue but hopefully I'll get it worked out soon.

I dare say that if you aren't really pushing past 5 psi then a tune isn't really necessary... But that's just my opinion. If you kick the crap out of your car, yeah you need a tune. If you're an (aggressive) daily driver then no worries methinks.

It's probably also worth mentioning that even with Garm's magic touch, this is still going to be very hands on and is going to require getting your hands dirty. The cost + labor involved is worth it in the end though.

That's really very cool for us first-timers out here.
