    Default Final pics of my turbo setup - its DONE.

    Ok so I started a couple lately saying hear this, see that. but it's done. I drove it for about 25 mins making a REAL rough base tune. I have to switch to resistor plugs, I believe i have non-resistors in there... not sure tho.







    Runs great *knock on wood*. There you see the wastegate and dump. Yes thats oil on the ground, the drain is leaked because I was stupid and overtightened the barbed fitting into the aluminum flange plate and cracked the plate but just HAD to run the car

    Another is on the way!

    Nah its not legal but neither is a 3.0" straight (no cats or muffler) exhaust.


    I have like 3/4 of an exhuast right now - no filter for the turbo it's screened 3 ply to keep the big nasties out for now.
