Sorry I haven't posted. Tech isn't working on my home computer for some reason. I'm getting powder-coating done right now. Intake and TB gloss black with throttle bracket being chrome. Wastgate bases will be black and tops chrome, coldside intake chrome and a gloss black radiator cover, etc.

Polished radiator cover, relocate/get rid of visible ground bolts and wires, smooth fender wells, respray bay, stainless brake lines, sterling silver ceramic coating for turbo manifolds and hot and cold side tubing, ecu cover. Straightening out the rubber hoses would make things look much better.

The one thing that I noticed was the EGR and AC connector hanging over the front of the passengers side head. I just fixed this on my car. If you remove the wire loom to the T at the back of the head, you can separate those wires from the injector wires. Put the loom back on the injector wires and put them back into the stock location. Now you can tuck the AC and EGR wires out of sight and keep it looking nice and clean.

The throttle cable bracket is chrome now yes. I actaully got to drive the car just 4 times with the new turbos and kept finding metal in the filter and now have to pull the motor out. A turbo went out last year and put metal in the motor and ended up gonig lean and cylinders #7 and 8 have mild damage. Getting it re-honed with new rings and bearings and installed 160 lb injectors and tripple 255 pumps and will try this again. Sorry I haven't updated since the cars engine went out. I'm shipping the kit to madman coatings to have it all re-coated chrome. Will also smooth and paint the engine bay. I'll upload all the picks as I go.

Hide some of your wiring and try to get as little of tubing for your Vac lines and everything else shown as possible. The less clutter the better!
