fitting front mount isn't as easy as you think, you have to cut wholes in wings, bumper etc (depending on what model) plus ebay kits are a risk, might not be correct pipework so you'll end up paying for modifying it or new piping, norm easier just to go to a place and have a proper one fitted.

I got one from Flat4 for my Classic pre 96 and fitted it in a day. Works perfectly and I didn't have to pay for fitting which is at least £300+VAT at Scoobyclinic when I last checked. As long as you take your time and think before you cut anything, either on the IC pipework or the car you will be fine as long as the kit you buy is of a decent quality to start with.

yeah yeah mate not saying you can't do it yourself, just think its one of the things you need to consider, is it worth risking. if you good with cars then go ahead.

Piece of **** mate, that kit fits together perfectly, you need to trim the front bumper and thats about it took me 2-3 hours to do it all

You need a short ram induction kit, TurboXS BOV or flange adapter and i think a 2.5-2.75" reducer

We started last night and find out a lots of things.First of all it is an exact copy of the turbo xs fmic.But this kit didn't have the steel piece to install onto and bolt on behind the bumper, so we have to cut a whole lot of metal and fit it custom( tonight will take pics). then the silicon hoes dont mach all the pipes, today I bought 4 reductions which costed around 120 EUR..From tonight we start the real work and tomorrow will post pics....
