yeah 750s.
Didnt get everything done tonight but made decent progress. Gotta do some fine aligning of the exhaust tomorrow, re-install the intake, and tune.
Shitteh part is we wasted 4 hours trying to get that aps pipe to fit properly. Could not get it on properly at all. what a pita, ended up putting the stock unit back on.
Here are some pics of the install

The turbo new turbo coolant line was rubbing against the transmission housing, loosening the uppipe and moving the turbo a little solved our problem. Other than that issue (and the aps pipe) the turbo was a perfect bolt on.

The aps instructions were good. The product is really nicely made, but that coupler that goes between the pipe and turbo doesnt work with my turbo. We tried everything, wasted 4 hours on this. If we decided not to install this before, the intake manifold could have stayed on and the car would be tuned right now! ugh.
