Most of the ITB kit showed up with a bent trumpet for cylinder 4 and spacers en-route. Started building cylinder 1 and 2 linkage.

Love your taste so far.

I used öhlins on the Evo I built. Such an incredible product.

How many hours do you think you had into the body work?

Öhlins were a 'make-it-work-because-it's-available' option. Outcome was relatively good, maybe a little too much damping because of the lack of weight.

Didn't keep track of time spent on body work and at this point I'm too afraid to think about it.

Got the kit fitted with an air filter solution is in the works. There's a vacuum leak somewhere which I still need to find but other than that things are going well.

Ideas for ICV inlet?

Old parts off


Throttle bodies in


Trumpets in. Cylinder 4 is different because of the heater hose coming out of the firewall there.


Throttle cable, plenum and AFM attached

Finally an update after 6 months. Ordered a Haltech Elite 750 standalone. Removed the harness, labeled everything and matched the pin outs. Still need to order an ignition module and intake air temperature sensor to splice in. The boxes will remount into the stock location with connecting port for tuning through the glovebox. More updates to come in the next few days. Hopefully I can get it started on the weekend.
