Depends on what you already have on your car, upgraded fuel pump and injectors, the two boost hoses coming from the turbo

the coolant pipes off the turbo need to be changed, theyre too long and they dont bend in the right position,
You really need an alternator drop bracket, although you can get away with it if you have to
I didnt re route the pipe that goes across manifold either

why do you say its no gain? the driveability of my car with the t4 compared to the t34.63 was quite different, it felt smoother, drove a lot nicer in general and made a lot more power without the need for tremendous boost
