so today i finished installing my intercooler, some piping and my bumper :S ...
***but im not done with the bumper***
lol as you can see i have a lil bit of stone chips on my bumper lolll
ok so i received my turbo kit yesturday and i started installing it so i did not have time to uplaod the pics in my pc so i did it today and here are a couple pics of what i got... oh and i forgot to take pics of the hot pipes...
these pisc are from yesturday because i did not have time to take some today but anyways im almost done i have the crossmember to mod, a couple of hose to hook up, run 2 coolant lines to the neck and locate the battery in the trunk...
i will take more pics tomorrow whitch i'll be probably done...
UPDATE:
hey im now now finish installin every thing heres a couple of pics i tryed to start the car but the battery was dead and i was freezing outside so i will attemp to start tomorrow... and i will make a video of the first start...
yes i know i bout a restrictor for it because i did not know the feed line flange had one and the hole in my restrictor is avout the same as the flange...
okay man, just so your sure....the hole in the restrictor should be so small that you can't see through it man...some people have shown me their restrictors, and the hole is like 50 times too big....it really has to be super small.
also.. why didnt you clock the turbo to the front like most of us did? less piping.
Anywho any vids of it running?
oh and get rid of that narrow band.
nice and clean set up.
oh and se7en i right, the restrictor,you have to make it REALLY small.. smaller than the ebay ones and your turbo will last way longer.

the turbo was placed like this because its the only way i could fit it!
yes i know my narrowband s--- sucks but when i bought my gauges i did not know about narrow and wideband... oh well i still have all winter to pick up money and i will probably buy a MSnS...
and for my restrictor i think its small enough...
where did you pass your return line because i know it has to be gravity level to go back to the pan but i think that i didn't pass it well...
