Default LQ4 into GTO

got my hands on a 2005 LQ4.
did a lil refreshing on it.
new bearings, new main bearings, new rings and honed the cylinders.
looking to make about 600whp
























got rid of the damn maf since my car was already tuned with speed density 2bar mapsensor, we were just using the maf for the IAT.





also added a oil pressure guage


installed the fuel return and boost referenced regulator
