GTM turbo kit question

Can the GTM turbo kit be installed while the engine is still in the car?
Do you have to take the engine out? Are the manifolds the hardest part to remove and install?
Any information that anyone could give me i would be very thankful.

Thank you all.

Yes, it can be installed without removing the engine. Manifold is one of the tougher parts.

I did mine in my garage without a lift or air tools, the manifolds were a pain, but not nearly as bad as some of the other small parts that sounded easier. The key is the right tools. If you can't get to it easily, get a tool that makes it easy and you will save a lot of time and heartache from doing something the hard way. Time and patients is really all you need to do it right.

^^^ Good advice all.

We did mine without removal. I think I read that even GTM has gotten efficient enough to do so without removal, and they have all resources available.
