Well, as a few people know, my ECU fried a month ago. Thanks to 1revvin not selling me his ECU, I turned a simple thing to a huge thing. I was planning on doing the huge stuff when it got warmer, but ohwell, i'm having fun now.



I have a new Garrett M43 turbo on the car (all the pics so far)

Almost finished my manifold for the turbo (not finished finishing it yet)

Using 2 tial 38mm wastgates (waiting for the flanges right now)

3 1/2" downpipe to a 3 1/2" to 2 1/2" y-pipe

Got a Microtech LTX8 coming now

Building an on-board PC so I don't need to carry around my laptop everywhere

Front mount coming

Got 2 Greddy Type-S BOV's (I just want the wow factor...lol)



Here is the turbo bolted up to the manifold

Here is the money shot from the front

You can see that i'm finally cleaning up the engine bay now, I know some of you started complaining about that a while ago https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I also don't have A/C anymore and have removed alot of the junk I don't need anymore (excess wiring, brackets, etc...)



Thats about it so far, just waiting now.

just buy the handset instead of the laptop TRUST ME

Well, its coming with both since I am thinking about becoming a dealer, microtech said that they would send me both. Including shipping, i'm getting everything (coils and all) for $950. Not a bad deal to me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Thanks man. I'm polishing it up as we speak and am also filling in the inside with this cool metal stuff I found so I can smooth it all out into a cone kinda thing. Somebody knows what i'm talking about.

Well, it took me a while to decdide, but i am going with 2 Tial 35mm. The reason for 2 is because i am getting both with flanges for $100 each.



The reason you don't see them is because i am waiting for them to arrive.

Meh. I'll just powdercoat it chrome. It would be easier https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Rotaryman88 11-17-2003 09:50 PM

roadkill669 11-18-2003 08:25 AM
