What? NEver heard of it. I thought the DRAG kit bolts directly on with no clearance problems. Do I have to file my block too?

File? I never did have to file my block. I had to cut my fan shroud though. But a slimline fan will be on the order to replace that one

wow art. I didnt have to cut that much at all. I had to cut maybe a half inch deep over a length of an inch or so. I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel. Whittled that block down like butter.

It was weird because on my car I didnt have to cut that much either, or even on the other drag kits Ive installed. This ITR have me so much head ackes it wasnt even funny. But it got done. But I tried to clock the turbo different ways and that was the best I could get it.

Only took me a few minutes with a Makita and cut off wheel, but I knew exactly where to remove material because I had marked the area with a permanent marker earlier while test fitting the turbo/man. assembly. If you dont want to shave the block you can order the kit with the T04B instead of the T04E...all B-series kits using the much larger T04E turbos require grinding the block.
