ITS ALIVE!!!!!
Filled it up with water and antifreeze this morning,checked the oil level and uploaded the new tune for the 52# injectors. Cranked it over and it VROOOOM!!!!!So far it all looks well,no leaks and no unusual noises,sounds great,lots of new parts making lots of smoke and burning off the new. Heres a few pics, this time around i rebuilt the whole downpipe/exhaust side with 3" piping and added a bigger 44MM wastegate.I have to take it easy for the next 500 miles to let the rings seat and the for the clutch to break in....so far so good,if it breaks again im getting a KIA!!

watch out cruising down the florida highways, some weird creatures on there. i hit a giant snake in a rental towncar a couple years back and did quite a bit of damage.
thanks for the album, some great pics in there. are you going to put a grill in to protect the intercooler? any more info on what intercooler your using or is it a secret?
