Yesterday we started laying out where the turbo will be located along with the size and style intercooler. The turbo will go here but a little higher up than in the pic. I need to trim a little more metal to get it to sit where its actually going to go.

To improve air flow to the intercooler I just ordered from Bell I cut the center section out of the front bumper

While I am still waiting on the block to get back from the machine shop I have just been tinkering with the car. I decided to tint all the lights....tailights, corner markers, headlights
