Freshly Installed Custom Turbo! *PICS*

Heres the engine bay over all


This is a pic of the really tight piping because the top of the turbo wasnt cut off and turned around. But it still works.


Heres a pic of my evo 8 fmic mmmmmm....i know i need to take my plate off and i will but i wanted to take pics now!


Heres a pic of some of the piping. It runs along the back of the radiator and curves around to meet the fmic. Thought i would take this pic because i have never seen piping like this for our cars.


12:1 FMU its pretty and blue.


Side angle view of the car.


Over all view of the car.


Theres my baby. I think i need coilovers now or something, I need to work on handling now!

-I would like to see how your custom setup performs. If you have the money and time try I know all of us would appreciate it if you dynoed it.
-Also who did your piping?
-Your car looks TOUGH!

Looks good... couple things i did notice that i'd correct.

1) zipties on high pressure fuel lines to the FMU are not a good idea... need to get some clamps on there in case a hose blows off. That could be very bad.

2) The welding on the intake pipe for your BOV return isn't looking to hot. You may wan to have that redone or checked for possible leaks. A leak there could effect your tuning.

3) Where's the o2 sensor... see the bung for it and figure you'll just extend the wires but it's still not in there. You'll definately want it in there unless your going full standalone and putting a wideband in further down.

Other than that the setup looks good and will hopefully give you some good gains. Good luck bro. I like the Evo intercooler... its big.

Thanks for the comments everybody and boe
1. Thanks for the headsup on the clamps i didnt think it would be a big deal ill fix that today or tommroow.
2. Yes that is the ****tiest weld i have ever seen but im pretty sure its not leaking.
3. I have no idea what your talking about with the o2 sensor. I am using the rrm up/ down pipes and the rrm header. If you look in the forth pic you can see its right there in the header. Whats would be the disadvantages of putting it where it is now? I do want to get a wideband very soon but there are no plans on going full standalone, piggyback hopefully.
