I am with you on that one. CyberP on here sent me the instructions as I never got them. I have to go to my box later today to pick them up.

[ipimpthisc]

i never instructions either...I asked matt at tune time to call them up for a pdf or whatever instructions modality they use. smh...if ips had their kits ready and their cuswtomer support on point they would easily rival almost everyone...but such is life

[ipimpthisc]

se damage to i/c unit from ips...not happy but thankfully the ait tubes arent affected dramatically

[ipimpthisc]

again flow tube appears to have no crush damage but some structural integrity has been compromised.

[Squintz Palladoris]

Damaged in shipping?

Have you sent those pics to IPS and asked them about a replacement?

I would.

Thats a great lookin kit. can't wait to see how it runs!

thanks bred...but if these replace that means more time to install, labor etc...smh might not even be worth it...i dont need any more snagz...tired of the waiting game already :(

Nah, shouldn't affect performance at all. I"ve pulled some pretty gnarly things out of the FMIC of my old Eagle Talon and it never had a problem, even with 500whp @ 30psi running through it. If you're worried about asthetics, that would be another story.

ok went to get my turbo today and a few bad things happened..my installer couldnt really dyno my car with the injectors ips sent me...from jump he told me he didnt like them ...and tuning them was very tricky at best...so i need a new set...i will discuss this ips people soon ...but more disturbing is this.....that the boost referencing sensor goes into the fmic i believe and not into the turbo,...so basically if i lose pressure some where the waste gates would open too much and over boost...resulting in a blown motor...no bueno..again i will discuss this with ips, and lastly even i...no expert at all can see the clamps that the ips kit has...screw driver types inst really good for the boosted set up especially in tight areas..like under the car...as we where doing a dyno run...a hose blew off...the clamp gave way....smh...we shut it down asap but the problem is if this happens on a dyno it will for sure in nyc streets full of vibrations, harmonics etc, and not just from boost...again resulting in over rev or boost damage...i am starting to see the flaws in this kit, and not feeling to happy...the turbos and i/c unit are great..the piping is good too...the big name parts are good..its the little things, that make a big difference that worries me...so now the car is being retro fitted with t-clamps...in place of the screw type regular hose clamps....and i mite need other injectors too....because these are that easy to deal with ..at least with my tuner...so i aint happy....keep yall posted....and i still dont have my car, 14 grand later

I hate to hear that. I almost went with a IPS or Granitelli TT kit.

Not trying to be an ass, but your typing is horrible and very hard to flow along. Some tips...use your spell check and remember this is not texting so type out the full words, and last but not least, read your post word for word and make sure it makes sense after you type it.

Hope you you get it straight.

sorry for the typos man. I have big fingers and a small key board. But as i stated, for the money it wasn't a bad buy. But IPS needs 1. much better shipping/handling 2. Better timelines and the communications of real times of when they can ship you a product complete. 3. they need much better clamps for those hoses, particularly the ones under the car. 4. they need a much better boost reference nipple/sensor (as explained to me by a few turbo-heads) ( or rather the position of the sensor should be better) 5. they need a better set of injectors (being that i paid for ls9 modified ones, that according to my install guy suck) But on this i say who knows. I learned to get my injectors, and my tune with one guy on site. 6. They need install instructions.

Now I have to say again the turbos, the wastegates, blow off valves, piping etc was excellent. But i think the hoses and clamps could be better...oh and the kit is a lil too low in my opinion..but not so low that its a burden...at least with the stock height. I wouldnt lower my car. This I can say.
