All those scratch's are from the previous owner. Looks like he hit a steep driveway everyday or something. I plan on getting the car repainted next year.

What i wanna know was all that fuel modifications necessary or are u just building it up for future power? I would love to get a phamspeed kit as well but just planned on a walbro intake, bigger injectors, and maybe an Adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I, like u, would like to max out on stock internals and enjoy it for right now =)

Well got some more done. Getting real close, I have been working on it less because its pretty hot here and i think I am burned out on this project. But I can say if I had everything I need right now in hand, I would have about 3-5 days of work left.

No it wasn't that one. It's the one on top of the fuel pump housing, I think its a fuel evap sensor. Cost 20 bucks.

Got the ic pipes done today. I still need to order a 90 degree coupling to make it work with this GT42 turbo. All in all it came out real nice.

KAOS it was very easy. I got the bends for here http://www.performance-curve.com/ind...S&Category=345 I rented a 14" chop saw from home depot and it took only like 3 hours to fab everything up. I could lay out all the bends for you and take a picture that way you can get a ideal what to do. This was one of the easiest things I did so far.
