Looks hotness. I'm sticking with the stock bumper for now so the evo intercooler was a little too big for my stuff. I went with an 18x6.5x3 which should match up nicely. I'm putting it on this weekend so i'm hoping for no major modification needed.

Heres a question for you turbo guys. I'm heading out to the hardware store this weekend for the oil fittings. What sizes do i need?
I need the Oil feed for the plug above the oil filter. I think i remember seeing 3/8 NPT. The oil line i have has a threaded fitting at the ends (which i'm sure all do). Also i need the fittings for the oil pan and whatever drill and tap sizes. The turbo i got came with the flexible oil return hose but i think i wanna replace it with something a little more sturdy so what do you guys suggest?

I'm not sure about the fitting for above the oil filter since I used whatever RRM includes in their kit. I do know however that RRM uses a 3/8" NPT fitting for the tap, also 3/8" NPT at the oil pan for the oil return. RRM also includes a sturdy return line from the turbo that goes about half way and then they use some heater hose for the remainder of the way.

Got it myself....
3/8" NPT drill and tap set for oil return with a -10AN line
3/8" NPT to 1/4" NPT for the oil feed line, 8mm hex plug above the oil filter
Startin the install of the FMU, Fuel Pump, and Intercooler (just mounting it up) as soon as i get home from work today. Gotta get emissions tested next week (before i turbo so i know i'll pass hehe). Then Turbo install June 2nd or 9th!

I'm having a little stumble at idle now. When i come to a stop it kinda dips down to about 500, mabe hits 400 rpms for a few seconds, then stablizes back at 7-8 after about 2 seconds. Maybe just running a little richer now?
Does it keep doing it like rev up then back down. Like it surges at idle.
If so, i had the same problem!! It was a vaccum leak. My line to the fmu exploded.lol but i fixed it and the idle was fine.

Naa, it just dips down for a few seconds and then normalizes. I'm not really worried about it. I'm putting on the FMU and intercooler tomorrow. Getting the car inspected next week. and then turbo shortly after
