Woo hoo! What I ordered has arrived. I have a few questions though. :mad:

1. *NO* Gaskets whatsoever. Why?
2. Slip joint on Wastegate. Is this correct?
3. Instructions say use anti-sieze on turbo drain fitting. Anti-sieze WTF? Why not teflon paste?
4. I see no place to put my Intake Air Temp sensor... even my place racing CAI accommodated this.
5. I have 2 fittings on the downpipe. I assume the bottom one is for O2 sensor. The top one must be for the optional EGT sensor. If so GREAT! I was about to sell my Greddy EGT.
6. *NO* Gaskets whatsoever... not even one between the 2 dowpipe sections???
7. See 1 & 6. :)

The reason why I left some pieces in bubble wrap is because I am taking the IC pipes to be powdercoated, and the exhaust pieces will be thermocoated.

Because I have seperated that piece off the turbo to have it ported, extrude honed, and today it went out to be thermal coated. (I have had the turbo since Christmas)

What turbo will fit? Well you'll have to call F-Max for that question.

I didn't order the complete kit. So my price was custom. I am buying alot of what usually comes in the kit elsewhere. Most of it I already had, ie JWT ECU...
