So just a few updates.

1. Powder coated the PS reservoir and CDI bracket





2. Wire tuck and the nightmare that was.

Thanks, and I love your car (it probably makes more power than mine with a smaller turbo) so coming from you that's a big compliment.

Small update the car is crazy fast and fun. I'm still having starting issues that get allot worse with the cold. If anyone knows of a good methodology or guide to improving starting I would really appreciate it. Everything I try seems to do nothing or make it worse.

Nice job man...Looks good with most of the wires cleaned up/tucked...I am in the middle of doing the same myself...Running a lot of the wiring under the intake manifold and trying to clean up/hide a lot of the other but still make them easy to get to...

Yea I did the exact same. It looks good. I would try to make sure you are cautions and still support the wiring somehow.


Also for anyone else with a similar turbo setup you can make your own 4' intake

requires

1 x Silicone 45 elbow $24
1 x Aluminum 45 elbow $45
1 x 4' air filter $35 ish

Just cut the coupler and tube to the length you want.

If you don't mind me asking what did that paint job set you back?
