Wrapped up my huron turbo kit install last friday. Took it for a spin yesterday without a tune for over an hour. NOT ONE PROBLEM. The car goes in for tuning wednesday morning.

The huron kit is a good kit that gets a bad rep because diy guys attempt a turbo kit install without experience in dealing with turbo heat. I am not going to say im a turbo expert but this is not my first turbo car rodeo and past experiences and friends with boosted cars churns out what i have put together by myself in my garage. There is a great huron turbo kit install thread that covers everything from running plug wires correctly to avoid burning. Heavy emphasis on protecting your air conditioning lines. Heavy emphasis on wrapping the flex portion of the cross pipe to avoid burning your fan lines along with many other things.

There are multiple guys who have ran this kit HARD and long for over a year. What seperates them from people who sell their kits immediately after a problem arises?

Experience in dealing with heat and turbo

This kits requires a installer to have a degree of experience and ingenuity when things possibly go wrong. Dont just buy heat wrap tape and tape things up and expect it to all work fantastic. Take the time to thoroughly execute a clean install with NO touching and clearance issues.

I see OP's installed shots and i can already see a burned plug wire.
