I hope you are making the right move putting those hookers on your car.
I took them off my car and threw them away....I installed some TA headers and my car never felt or spooled better. It took forever and a day to get my turbo to spool with those hooker headers. Good luck.

i had a set on my car when i bought it, im pretty sure i took them off to wipe my a$$ with them!
 in my opinion the hooker headers are the not good. i mean why run the exhaust from the pass side down into the x-over and then back up to the turbo? just seems silly to me. youd be better off with a set of stockers and just deal with the cracking issues.buickbert

Might be a stupid question, but why is your coil pack on backwards? Or is it? Or are you plug wires going to the wrong sides of the motor?
 Lemme know its driving me nuts!
