Working on the fuel pump and injectors tomorrow...waiting for HP Tuners to deliver next week. That's awesome man, Josh is a cool guy to work with. You will be happy with the setup and install. Good luck and let me know if you need any help. Last edited by Sweet_SS; Apr 2, 2011 at 02:35 PM.

Got the PCV setup squared away:
Gauges are in
Found this under the center console $100...score!!!
Out with the friends and only need some tuning now.
....this concludes the build for now. I will post up a vid after my dyno.

Are you running a muffler at all or just a cat? You really need a cutout right after the down pipe. When I went from open down pipe to my exhaust with my TC76 it killed the power and spooled much slower. Nice and quiet for cruising but open the cutout when you want to hear the turbo and have it rip. It turned out great, keep us updated.

Thanks for the kind words.
Get a cutout on it or you will be seriously disappointed. When I installed the exhaust to my slp dual dual muffler it spooled 1500-2000 rpm slower and didn't run much harder than it did N/A. It made it a total turd, you want as little 3" diameter piping as possible after the down pipe so get a cutout on there right after the down pipe. I went with 4" but I imagine a 3" is better than nothing.

Thanks.
About 12" after the down pipe there is a lot of room for a cutout though.
