Email me how much I owe you. This means I have one of these floating around my garage. The good news is that you have a spare turbine-outlet clamp.
Don't forget to always use anti-seize when the come on and off.

Don't use an impact gun to install/remove the turbine inlet/outlet clamps. You'll destroy the clamp if you do.
Have fun lining all that **** up the first time. It's an ABSURDflow rite of passage

Actually, lining it all up, alone was not so bad. Took about an hour of fiddling - on a car that had never seen this kit before. I needed to trim a piece of bell housing.
The manifold, wastegate, downpipe, dump tube, test pipe are all in place. Only the turbo needs to go on but that should be not so hard.
Meanwhile, a friend played nice and brought me my AST kit:

That is a 800 (110 tender) / 500 (55 helper) spring.

From the pics it looks like the rears are zero rate tenders with flat wound helpers in front.

This. They are based on input from the 'Ring Mazda' who runs 3-ways with externals since 2010. I suppose these have evolved a little since then. No doubt different than XIDA. Also different springs (60mm vs 2.25"/57mm), different top mounts, etc. Shipping and customs (both time and money) is spoiling a lot of fun in getting parts from the US. So glad I found these guys in Berlin. They sent me their 144pg 2013 catalog. Drool.

A bit of fiddling today. Figured out which oil/water lines to use (combining H's and mine) and if the turbo would fit. It will, but I might need to put a space between the test pipe and the exhaust as to not pull it forward too much.
Something like this:

Installed the oil inlet, water in/outlet and working on the oil return for which I need to trim some hex bolts. Cleaned up the compressor housing, H, that was a dirty bitch!
