    The kit itself is rated at 550hp. But I don't think I'll be pushing it that far, at least to begin with as I'll still be running stock injectors for now. These ones come set at 12 psi, which should also be alright for the stock injectors. But eventually I'll upgrade the injectors so that I can get more out of the turbos.

    Not 100% sure what power I'll be able to get out of them with stock injectors at 12psi. Although I have good supporting mods also.

    Got the Battery mounted in the boot today

    Eventually ended up deciding upon an Optima Redtop 34 battery after doing a bit of research.

    I ran some double insulated welding flex cable down the side of the car through a hole in the passenger's side wheel arch, and for extra protection covered the cable in a heavy duty rubber hose. The cable then comes through the same hole where the PRVR lines used to be and into the engine bay. The other end of the cable continues down the side of a car and eventually gets pulled through under the section of trim right next to the rear seats. From there it gets tucked under some plastic trim and into the boot :)

    Here's some pictures of how the battery looks mounted up properly.

    Since the boot of my car was in pretty bad condition before I got in there and cleaned it up, I also thought I'd make up a new floor with a section cut out to fit over the battery. I used the original carpet that was in the car to make up a rough template, and cut out 3 sections which would make up the floor. The edges of the wood were then routed out to sit around the plastic trim and also overlap each other while sitting flush. Painted them matt black and put it all back together.

    My rear seats had also been taken out for the entire process of running the battery lead into the boot so I put them back in as well :p

    And here's how it looks with everything done besides getting some new carpet put in there. :cool:

    Nice work. I want to relocate the battery to the boot also, but not high on the list of things to do right now. I couldn't tell from the pics, do you have something holding the battery securely in place?

    The battery is held in place at the base with 3 bolts, one side of the battery slots under a bracket, while the other side holds it all in place. (pretty much the same way it'd be held in place in the engine bay.)
