Today's pics:

 

The front shot:

 

And my gauges. (I think I owe fireball an apology on this one cuz the gauge pod is a lot sloppier fitting than I remembered it being. Little heat gun work could fix that though.)

 

your pretzel header looks great although it sticks up a little... cant wait to see what she runs... u are gonna get it dyno'd right...oh yeah 2 for you....

 

FMIC looks kinda small thought it would be bigger since it was comin from rrm. how much did you spend altogether on everything
looks good though

 

I don't know whether or not Jeff wants me to give exact numbers, but let's just say it was very comparable to either either an intercooler RRM setup or an RPW Stage 2 BEFORE the cost of the (accursed) EMS.

Yes the FMIC is kinda small...granted there's limited space but I'm not very happy with the desgin either. I'll post about it in parts review when I get the time. I do intend to change a lot of things on this setupin the future, and when I plan on upping the boost I don't think the intercooler, intake piping or filter are gonna be with us anymore.

 

Looks friggin great dude!

Good job and congrats.

 

i WANT that manafold!! how much?

 

that manifold was custom made....if you are seriously interested in a custom turbo manifold i'd either PM stealth-wrx, he makes them, or find a performance/welding shop that will make you one. chances are it'll run you like 300-500 bux.

 

Just to give the full story, part of the frame on my hood is cut back for the manifold. Once it's heat wrapped and sealed w/ heat shielding under the hood it shouldn't be an issue at all (not that it's one now), but clearance was a minor issue. (We didn't want the heat to bubble the paint or rub against the frame of the hood).

 

*in that country type voice*
now thats a sleeper yaw
hehehehehhee
psssssssssssssssst BOOOM

 

She may look like one, but she doesn't sound like one when...and she's barely even pushing any pressure. I'm having issues with the EMS (for a change. ), but I'm gonna try to setup my old laptop (which I gave to my mother and she will NOT let me take for an extended period of time) to use temporarily until I can buy a new one. I'm so freakin' broke with all this extra crap it's not even funny. Not to mention my brakes should be shipping sometime this week and I'll be ordering a CM 4 puck with a sprung hub within the week, pushing me further into debt. Oh well. Gonna chill for a long time after that while I pay bills and live on bread and water.

Once Jeff or I get a response from AEM on a few issues I'm hoping we can actually get her to run somehwere near her potential. The stink I leave when driving is unbearable. Between the clutch and the unburnt fuel, it's awful, but the car's very drivable and I absolutely needed it back desparately now that my sister is home and I can't drive her car anymore.

 

i guess the other cat is out . . . .

 

The 2nd cat is a high flow now. My uh...stock one was defective, officer.

 

It's out....the cat...of the bag...

On April 12th in CT when Nick asked where your car was you and Ben had a funny smile. Nick's next comment was you are getting a turbo aren't you....the smiles got real big...

I may head up to Nanuet later today...

Flybyevo...
