Upgrade Started
This makes my project look cheap. Will you have a web site where we can refer to for future dream? I think this is something I'd like to do next summer! Do you have an HP estimate?

Here is the latest update, the engine is back in the car and the wiring is about 80% finished. Here are a couple of shots of the current progress. You can see the way the wiring has been routed in the wheel well. The computer will be behind the firewall. My friend has done a great job with the wiring and it is going to end up as a very clean install.

Well guys here are some shote of the latest progress. We started to mock fit the turbo parts and so far everything is fitting well there are a few minor clearance problems because my car is an auto but nothing major. How do you guys think it will look when finished?

Here are a few shots of the current progress. Have run into some clearance problems after installing the radiator and I think we are going to change a few things around with the piping so this will cause a further delay in getting it finished. I think the wiring is very clean looking and rest of the engine compartment came out great. The fuse box is where the battery used to be and the computer is behind the firewall.

Latest progress report. Well the clearance problems have been solved. There was nothing wrong with the kit’s pipes the clearance issue was caused by the Prothane engine mounts I installed with the new engine. The mounts actually made the engine sit higher than stock and with all the angles involved with the piping this was what was giving us the problems. I got a set of lowering mounts from JDM and now everything fits great. Won’t be able to work on it this weekend but now it’s all downhill so it should be finished soon. Anyone want a set of almost new Prothane mounts?
Just wanted to add Jim from TurboHorsepower has been great through all this and offering to do anything he could to help. I couldn’t ask for better service than he has given me. For anyone thinking about a turbo Jim is the man.
