            Well done!

                    Running a TRE 255LPH pump now, i ran the stock one last year, it did just fine but seemed like it was getting a bit "tired" last i checked.

                    This turbo kit is great! No videos yet, will be getting them done soon. My photographer friend just bought a very nice video camera as well.

                    I have drag raced many things. Raced a stage 2, 06 sti.....i won. He had me off the line, but i caught him eventually!

                    No Dyno yet, but soon. Just need to find a good place for it around town.

                    Its a good DD at 8psi, not the best on gas, but not the worst. Just don't bag on it 24/7 and you will be fine.

                    Internals are stock, other then ARP studs. I thought i put up a list a page or 2 into this thread.

                    Depends on your skillzzzzz.

                    Can you weld and cut metal to make things fit? If so, ya its eeeeasy, just takes time.

                    Its still running just fine! AFM is pooped, new one on the way though, the AFM flap is to easy to push open for the turbo now, it makes it run way to rich when just driving around. Under boost its great!

                        Just installed front brakes from a 98 cobra R. Great kit, barelly fit the 17" rims. They sure get my 2700 lb car to stop on a dime!

                              only thing i would say to do is black out the inter-cooler.- would make it look even more clean

                                Best Bronzit e30 ever! But I prefer it with the old chrome trim instead.
                                But I have to say I noticed these eBay kits have improved over the years. Yes fitment is still a pain but at least the compressor housings aren't glued together like they used to be. And your car is a good example why ebay kits aren't so bad anymore. Now we gotta get some dyno numbers of your car
