Well major setback tonight. I had to take the engine just about all the way out of the car and remove the oil pan since the fitting for the drain was stripped and ruined and I need to grind it out and weld a new one one. Not very happy. =( It should be all back in tomorrow.

Just some re-wiring. Im rewiring the whole car neater with less wiring. I kept adding on last year after the initial wiring job. I can consolidate a bunch of wiring.

Aftermarket gauge wiring, dump tubes, rest of the downpipe, install wideband,intercooler and charge piping, plum the radiator hoses...ummmmmm and a few odds and ends I guess.(most of which will be done in a couple of hours) Im on the home stretch now. I had the wg flanges welded directly to the piping..should give me the best flow and with one on each I dont think ill ever have a boost creep issue.

Looks really awesome! You are doing a great job with everything! well thought out and executed. I hope you have better luck with running 38s then I did. I just had to cut all my hotside piping and upgrade to 45mm gates to be able to run lower boost levels. It ended up costing me a pair of head gaskets;(

Got a lot accomplished today.
Intercooler mounted:
Charge pipe before I/C is stainless and very short... but it works.
After the I/C is two sections of alum..fit with no cutting of the car light brackets(surprising)
Heres a front shot..everything is going to be black and not seen once the bumper is on. I have the intercooler offset which allows me to run a filter which is great because we werent sure if one was gonna fit.
