Engine bay question(pics)
I would rather be the dumb guy with dumb questions than not ask, but can you guys looks at the pictures of my engine bay and point out anything that mighg look wrong or needs fixing/upgrading. This would be a huge help, im a total noob.
does it run good? if so, other than cosmetics, it looks all there. clean it up, and if you have problems running post them. welcome to the forum. it has alot of aftermarket stuff on it already. enjoy!
looks fine. you have a short run exhaust manifold on a stock turbo looks like. short route uicp and aftermarket turbo inlet with a cone filter? i dont really dig the orange. unless your car is orange.

Car is TB..im relieved to hear everything looks good. Its all ets piping. Anything I should upgrade? On a side note, it was cleaned up today but needs another cleaning. Car runs good, but needs a tune. No cel.

what else do you have? full exhaust? i recommend if you dont already have get a 3" downpipe, high flow cat or test pipe and catback exhaust, 3-port boost control solenoid, walbro 255 fuel pump and retune on your 93 octane gas. i think with full bolt ons, fuel pump, 3-port and tune on VA's 93 octane you could easily hit 315whp depending on dyno.
-change spark plugs maybe gap to 24
-oil change
-change all driveline fluids
-get all bolt ons
-retune
