got the cold side pretty much done. dropped one of the tubes off to get the BOV flange welded on. also finished some more wiring. still waiting for my turbo headers.

Pretty sweet build man, I'd LOVE to go with boost on my L92, but that'll have to wait for a better-paying job than the one I have now... 
(Well, that, & I'm a bit leery about combining boost with VVT...)
I'm going to be following this build...

think im gettin screwed on my headers. anyways got the fuel done, most the wiring done, gotta mount the battery and run the wiring. need to get a 2 bar map, lt1 spark plug wires and i think i should be able to fire it up without the turbo.
shift **** and vacuum manifold my pops made for me. tried to make him do it in 3rd gen font but he didnt want to. lol

been busy workin and havent got to mess with the car much lately.
but i decided to finally fab up my gauge pod. ive had this stupid aftermarket stereo mounting thing in my shed and always wanted to see if i could make a gauge pod out of it. my dash is all cracked anyways so if it didnt come out good it didnt bother me.
