I know all this stuff is in my signature and all but there is alot in this that I can't put in there lol. I will add some pics as I can find them again to add to this thread. Again I would like to thank all who followed my Evo update thread and hopefully this is a little better of a thread to read rather then the disappointing read in the other thread. Here are some pics that are of the new build.

Well I know you have been really supportive in my other thread and its much appreciated. Unfortunately shootout is in a little over a week and I have enough time to break in the motor being it has 0 miles on it. Tuning it will be a few weeks till I can get some extra cash together. I am going through some more pics but I want different ones being I don't just want the same thread as the other one ya know. Goal is 1000 whp for all who are wondering but I think there is enough in this turbo to do close to 11 or 1200 depending on dyno.
Thanks guys. I have the very first start up on video and kind of a walk around but says it doesn't support the video. I will send it to my computer and see if I can get it to work. Car sounds good but I have a noisey serpentine belt. I took it for a drive today and stock gauge is pegged but temp on Haltech says 180 to 193*. So idk what's going on. Not a whole lot of time to play with it.
So if anyone has an idea how to change videos to make them work on here can you let me know. I would like to post the first idle but it doesn't like the video format.
Seems like using YouTube is the most common platform
A standard Mpeg file is not working on an upload?
Not from my phone. I sent it to myself and it's on windows media player now and it didn't like that either. Idk I'll figure it out lol. I'm so excited to show everyone lol.
More than ready for some cam rumble. Dont be cheap w/the clip length LOL
Lol trust me there is plenty of rumble. The clip is 25 seconds and I basically go around the car and stop in the back for a second and go back around . I will just have to play with the file to see if I can get it uploaded.
