Well, I never showed the finally pictures of the painted 7 so here you go...



In this picture I'm still missing mirrors and my haust which I have installed















Also since these pictures I've blow my engine. My haltech went out some I had to send it back to Haltech to be fixed. I got in a rush when I got it back and did a 75% tune... I drove it around for about a week and just happened it went lean for a second and POP!!! It shot 3mm apex seal pieces all in that bish! Ate the turbo and did a number on the rotor and housing.













Well... time for a rebuild. Now getting a S4 block with TII rotors a slight port job and another S4 turbo. Lets see if we can keep this one in one piece! LOL!

Damn sorry to hear about that...well now you can build it exactly like you want



When you say slight port you mean bridge, right?

now you can paint the engine bay black too. Good luck. 244 HP is a lot for such a little car.

247@8psi... never got a chance to up the boost. I planned up it to 10-12. I'm going to be pulling out as much power as I can on the puny S4 turbo this time!



S4 housing, TII rotors, a mild street port, 10-12psi of boost! HOLLA... I'm really hoping for 275-300hp. 275 would make this car perfect!
