Wow thats really bright. But it looks good. On the intake side, it looks like you can cut the 90 degree pipe right where it touches the next one and they should connect fine.

lol yeah the Bov is on right. You should repaint the pipes. Really easy, just sand them down and respray them evenly. It's funny cause that's the exact same color blue I had on my valve cover thinking it would be darker. So I repainted it. But colors don't affect the power. Once you drive it you won't care what color the pipes are.

Dude, if that is a RRM turbo kit, why do you have to cut into the charge pipes?? For one thing you got the Pipes connected wrong on the Driver side.
Plus i bought my kit off of a manual trans lancer, the kit fits fine on the Auto Lancer. Please dont cut the pipes, you just got them connected wrong.

oops... I already did cut them haha. But everything is lined up properly now and I didn't have to relocate the radiator fluid bottle that sits on the driver side of the radiator. But I do need a mini battery and it should arrive Monday.

Its almost done. I hope I can start it up tomorrow.




Question about the MBC. All I have to do is tee the same vacuum line that goes from the turbo to the wastegate right?

I haven't posted around here in a while, but I was going to actually make a thread to let everyone know how my car has been running for anyone who was interested. 40k (70k on the car total) miles with stg 2 and still running awesome :P

I can take a picture of mine if you want to make sure everything is set up correctly.

That's great. How much boost are you running?

Can you take a pic of your MBC vacuum lines on where they connect?

wastgate question

Yes, make sure it's the one on the side of it not the one on top off the wastegate, that one vents. Also, you should really put that recirc tube under the intake charge pipe, you may be rubbing under the hood as the engine torques.

I've made a few notes on one of your pics... check it out. Your BOV is on correct but your piping could use some adjustments.

Since this is a used kit and it seems that you are new to this... why don't you just hook up the basic kit and keep the stage 2 stuff on hold until you get the basic kit running well.

It's often better to do things in steps than all at once... just a recommendation.

Damn, it's boe!
I pretty much owe my car to this guy, so listen to his words of wisdom.
Here's a quick picture of the vacuum tubes and BoV for reference. I use an EBC and the module is near the passenger side headlamp.
