I also found out not to use the supplied clear tubing for the boost/vac guage because it is bad about expansion and collapasing while in operation.

Thanks for the info! The wideband is an AEM and I've heard good stuff about it. I've been checking on the vacuum tubing they supplied every so often and it seems to be holding up pretty good but I'll keep and eye on it. The b/v gauge is definitely showing numbers instantly so I'm not too worried about that one. The one I am worried about is the fuel pressure gauge. I have to double check with a mechanical one yet but it's showing 68-70psi of fuel pressure pretty much constantly. Hoping I didn't do something stupid like pinch a return line when I put my stock pump back in. If it is still reading high on a mechanical gauge then I guess I have some trouble shooting to do. Thanks for the help and compliments guys!

Got the battery relocation done today. Thinking I'm having a relay problem because it is turning over pretty hard when starting but at least it all starts and runs well.

Also got around to doing some underhood cleanup work. Cleaned the **** out of everything and spray bombed the fenders and some other places. My shitty phone camera doesn't do this justice. It looks waaaay better.

Here is the finished bumper with the overflow and intercooler mounted.

Too bad it's going to be covered up

Got almost all of the parts in yesterday!

Ordered the last of what I needed from ebay and silicone intakes. I figure a couple more weeks of hard driving and back to the tear down for winter! This ended up being the final turbo parts list...

-On 3 Performance 76mm turbo
-Turbosmart 45mm Hypergate
-Tial Q blowoff valve
-Dual Walbro 255 fuel pumps
-Siemens 60lb injectors
