Making progress on phamspeed kit

I have the WG, BOV and fan...just need little odds and ends and I can hopefully start it up this coming weekend or the following. I of course need to upgrade the clutch and fuel...clutch is being ordered next week

I wish I didn't have to route under the kmember but A/c and p/s are worth it to me.

Is your car lowered?? If so then you may have some trouble with the pipes..You probably already know that though...Looks good though..When are you going to have it done??

Not lowered at all...I will lower it when I'm done with the kit, but only an inch or so. I drive the car maybe two nights a week...not a daily driver by any means.

Hopefully should be tuned and all by May I'm sure.

Do you think it's sitting too high? I'm going to cutout the whole frontpiece, basically the shape of the black grille insert.

It doesn't look too high.Does the bumper even fit with it like that? I've always got rid of the bumper support.

I'll get a pic up tomorrow hopefully.

Slowhawk, I haven't been able to put the front end on, just kind of eye-balled it on there and it'll be a snug fit im sure, but if it's too tight i'll pull the support.

~9lbs boost. I'd be pretty happy with mid-to-high 500's to the ground. I should have plenty of fuel as well as methanol.

Just saying we used that intercooler on a TA and the end pipes were extremely close to the nose cone.That was without the bumper support.

This is where the charge piping from the intercooler to the maf is supposed to go.

No, I had to pull the fuse boxes out a bit...probably going to mount them apart to make the squeeze a little easier. It does fit, though.

Got the alternator to finally fit, had to do some cutting though. For all you guys who want an alternator relocation...talk to smokinHawk, seems to me his fit better than what I have, and without modification I believe.

Also cut out the front grille area...I'll post that picture up later.
