Would also like to know.....AMS makes a sweet turbo kit. No comment on the latter.

Your turbo kit is going to be there real soon . Then you will be able to post some pics of a custom one off kit like no other.

Thanks for the support guys! I've been going at this for a little over two months now. Get of work and go work on the car at my buddies shop. But it will all be worth it.

RNR is making me a 40R turbo kit for my car right now, when it comes I'll post some pics of it.
Well I went with the RNR kit because it seems like a well put together kit and it doesn't cost what a AMS kit would, and I love their tubular header!
SpeedModel too late I've already installed all the bushings. Why not the spherical bushings, ride harshness?
Here is a pic of my head. Got it today and assembled for the most part. Now I'm waiting on my cometic head gasket.

Thanks guys she is pretty cool about it most of the time. She gets a little iritated that I spend so much time working on it tho, but I guess you can't win 'em all.

Thought I would be able to torque the head down today, but cometic sent me the wrong head gasket for the car! It was for up to an evo 3! Now I'll have to wait a few more days hopefully they have the right one in stock.
