some pictures during the install





My engine bay before the tear down. I started with mounting the bigger intercooler first since that was easiest to do.




The stock intercooler is tiny compare to the ETS 4in intercooler







Taking the old manifold and turbo off suck donkey dicks!!





Thats pretty much all i have done so far. Not bad for 4 hours worth of work. Tomorrow im going to finish it up, still need to tighten the oil lines, run the coolant lines, bolt up the downpipe and test and i should almost be ready to crank that bad boy up
