    I need to get newer pics now that I have the TRD skirts back on. She's not tuned yet because I had a little issue with an obstruction in the intercooler that took a little while to figure out. Also, I should have a few left over parts for sale, but I have to go sort through them. I know I'll have at least a set of 460cc injectors and a triple gauge pod pillar for grabs.

    It's def looking nice. I know it's not tuned, but any early ideas of how much power you're putting down?

    A lot more than I had before. I gotta keep the boost down low until I get it tuned, so I'm not going to chance seeing how much power I have until after then.

    My turbo sits about 1 inch from the firewall and never has hit. Even when I was running 12 PSI and dumping the clutch :D (however that did blow the motor hehe)

    Vamp. I love what you did with the guages. That is way pimp!

    You should also wrap your cruise control cables in heat reflective material. It gets pretty crazy hot next to that turbo and might melt those guys.

    The turbo is black ceramic coated and the cables directly above the turbine side are currently wrapped. I'm getting her tuned in two weeks. I still have to put my shift kit and motor mounts in at some point, but I'm pretty busy during the week. Oh, here's a diagram of my vacuum routing that I made if anyone's interested.

    Thanks for the post Vamp. This really helps a lot.:cool:

    Vamp, where did you get the flange for the MAF?

    Pardon me for sounding stupid but what is that thing with the blue label above the BOV?

    http://www.ppeengineering.com/ for the MAF flange. As for the blue thing, it's my SARD fuel pressure regulator. I plumbed a return fuel line for I could make sure I had enough fuel.

    I just "accidently" hit 10.6 psi earlier (engine did a wonderful job of running 13.5 AFR on it's own) and I had no issues with it touching the firewall. I'll take better pics at some point. My camera got stolen the other week and I only just realized that this morning :(.

    Hey Vamp, Where did the IC piping pass thru on the passenger side to get to the FMIC? Under the washer tank? Did you make a hole?

    It goes inbetween the bay wall and the alternator pulley so that I have the least number of bends possible and can retain my fog lights.

    Not for low boost, you can make 7 PSI blowing though a McDonalds staw and it doesn't burst :D

    Here's an old pic before I had it painted black (with special paint) to increase it's thermo efficiency and help hide it.
