    Got some more stuff done this weekend. We are planning on having it running in the next few weeks so we can sort out all of the bugs before we bring it down to Yimisport to do the tuning.

    I powdercoated the upper expansion tank wrinkle black. It's our new favorite color...

    Also did made the intake today. The filter sits behind the passenger seat. We will be making an air box for it so it gets constant cool air. PS: shout out to the guy working at O'reillys for the filter.

    Welded on the MAF flange and ground it down and sandblasted the whole piping to get it ready for powdercoating.

    Slight mishap happened...scratched the hotside of the intercooler piping pretty bad (was PC'd wrinkle red) but we ended up going with a wrinkle black this time around. Hopefully it looks a bit better...

          Got some stuff done this weekend. We wrapped the uppipe and downpipe in DEI titanium wrap. This stuff is quality. So much nicer to work with compared to the cheaper/fiberglass options.

          Too bad we forgot to weld the bung on for the wideband, lol. So we gotta unwrap part of the downpipe and weld the bung on.

          Routed the fuel lines, both rubber and hard-lines.

          Finished the turbo intake. Welded on some brackets and used exhaust hangars to mount it.

                                If you make it so the headlights could tilt from side to side you could give it some emotional expression... Kidding, it looks great! Subscribing for the awesomeness!
