cool man thanks for the info, an to everyone else!
your car sounds wild. does't even sound too loud.

the exhaust is quiet... the wastegate dump is loud

[gtimportfanatic]

Don't you hate it when your car feels "normal" again?? LOL I spent over 8K to not feel normal this time. Dyno sheets to come... anyway

yeah but when i get on it in 2nd and rip 225/50/16 bfgoodrich drag radials.. i smile and im good

I just have a stewart warner 15 psi boost gauge, but an AEM wideband is gonna be coming soon. I just have the single gauge pod on the steering column, so i'll have to figure out a new place to mount the wideband once i get it. I dont like the pillar pods because i like the sleeper look i have, and that would kind of mess that up. My car is all stock on the outside, stock height, wheels, etc. and my intercooler is anodized black...complete sleeper.

Dude super sleeper! that sounds awesome! I've seen people mount gauges on that empty hole next to the hazard lights button. I want that steering colum one w/ a shift light attatched. I don't have to rock oil pressure, water temp, or exhaust temp gauges? How would i blacken the emusa intercooler?

sick mode!

did anyone have a problem with mounting that intercooler an then with putting the front bumper back on?
I have some eBay special fog lights that's lasted me a good while, doesn't look like they're gonna work after the intercooler is installed.
I have to take out everything in the mouth of the front bumper don't i?

I had my intercooler anodized black because spray paint can clog the passages that the air flows through and will also chip off after time, but you could spray it, just dont spray it too heavy. There should be a shop in san diego that does anodizing, shouldnt be more than like $60 to have it done.
As far as the gauges go...I only run the boost, and the wideband will be coming soon, so I cant answer that. You have a water temp gauge on your cluster, and you would have to get an oil pressure gauge with an electric sending unit, other wise you may not pass tech inspection at the track if they happen to be anal about it. You can run an EGT gauge, the emusa down pipe has a small bung for it, but thats all up to you.

I really wanna get the Sidewinder style turbo manifold, but i think im getting way too ahead of myself.
My goal is to just get this engine swapped an boosted for at least a year before any major upgrades.
But before i can spend money for under my bonnet im desperately trying to get the ITR brembo brake conversion going.
I just need control arms an F sway bar an i can start the surgery. wish me luck dudes.

Can i have it?

LOL sure why not. Give me an address and i'll ship it to you. I think all i'd need is 2 stamps instead of one? It's an awesome game, teaches you about cars, racing lines etc. You can learn a lot just from playing the game. I took a pic of my screen for the avatar lol.
