Well, a link to the photo album at least. I know, i know, imagestation sucks, but that's where the pics are at right now......

Here is the link...

After getting screwed by the guy who sold the kit to me, I ended up having to spend hundreds of dollars extra just to get the kit to work well. Finally, the wait is over, the car runs, and runs pretty well considering I have yet to take it to get dynoed.....

comments, questions, etc>?
Also, the whole engine bay is getting a revamp, including some carbon fiber pipes, new vaccum lines (diff. color to set it off), JDM valve cover, cleaned up MSD install, turbo heat shield, and a few other nifty things....
Oh, and yes, there are a few misc. pics in the album as well, of my carbon hood/fenders, new m3 mirrors, front mount, and HIDs
I hope the link works....

I was going to ask if that was the kit since I see its Drag.

Looks nice to bad it was a pain in the ass fixing.

Still think its cluttered on the inside though to much happening

Good luck with the turbo

Beautiful! Get a side shot of your car. I dont think I saw one in there. How much PSI are you running right now?

Yup, that's the same kit. THe wastegte ended up only having a 5psi spring in it, and I had to rebuild the diaphram on the inside of the BOV. I still need to get a wastegate dump tube on there, I have to order it from DRAG. THe boost controller helped out greatly, It's running at about 7.5-8 PSI right now, and running pretty damn well. Still a bunch of minor fine tuning to make it proper, but hey, that's normal for turbo. Mike, the guy that sold me the kit was a F-ing moron, and half of what he told me was BS, he didn't even know what spring was in the wastegate, he was just going off what he was told etc....

BUt hey, for the price of a brand new kit, i got this one lol.....
BUt who cares about the past, now that I got it to work hehehe
Now all i got to do is clean up the bay a little bit.....
