Maybe I should start off by saying nobody should be buying anything from anyone who goes by the name autowerks. Nonetheless calling himself a "guru" noon or newb is way more appropriate. Idk where should I start, I've installed alot of different single turbo kits from jpnoworkz , bottom mounts, top mounts and stock manifold kits. None with the level of customization and frustration that I experienced with this "kit". I'll wait to get to the good part and slowly build up the suspense, so for starters you may as well kiss the option of using your stock driveshaft goodbye ol buddy didn't even bother to think that the extra inch would have an affect squishing the driveshaft hard back into the differential and having to completely re mount the driveshaft drilling and tapping new threads, ok fine thats easy enough. Second the instructions were so vauge they were basically useless and no help what so ever, nor was "guru"( gonna refer to him as noob for the rest of the write up). Thirdly his homemade transmission mount fell apart in about a week and going along with the no instructions theme didn't specify which orientation it needed to be installed in, (if your dumb enough to buy this kit just go with a brand new oem mount). Fourthly the noob had nobody lined up to do the coding for the 6hp28 swap and had nothing lined up with xhp so I had to use the coder I use for my dme re coding, which I didn't have an issue with but i thought it was super unprofessional on the noobs part not to have these things ironed out prior to releasing a "kit". Lastly and probably the most important part for a awd car is being able to actually use the front 2 wheels, which you would be completely incapable of if I didn't make massive modifications to the adapter plate as seen in the pictures provided. Which the noob was apparent shocked at. He offered me shitty solutions like well you can send me the plate back and I can figure it out . Fuck no the car is in my shop already taking up way more time installing you poorly designed kit and I didn't have time to wait another week between shipping and waiting on his sloth ass . Then he's like well you can cut it , no shit Sherlock what other options do I have. Then now he wants the plate back so he can steal my intellectual property. Lol not without a lawsuit coming your way noobautowerks. Finally his poor choice in an lines I personally hate pfte stainless steel braided lines, if you've ever worked with them you know what a pain in the ass they can be. But I geuss making bulk orders of the cheapest shit you can find on alibaba is better for the bottom line. All in all if your looking for a awd transmission upgrade or even a rwd upgrade there's so many better options. #1 for rwd there's the zf45 and 50 that both come in rwd and awd and are a much better transmission capable of holding more power in stock form and the dct is a great more cost effective option than this kit. Manual will always be king in my book but some don't like driving manuals these days I guess. Take if from a guy that works in bmws for a living and avoid this kit and this awful vendor
