My build - Lots of pics
just updated my gallery with pics from this weekend.
We cut some of the factory radiator support, got the radiator in, we made lower brackets, to hold it, we are also going to get a sheet of aluminum over the top of the radiator for an upper bracket.
We also got bov done, got the wastegate done, and got the 02 bungs welded up.
For the most part its all smaller stuff from hear out.
To check out pictures go to www.sidewayz.net/turbota
and check out the last link 2-9-08 for the newest pics.
Thanks, Chris

do you have any pictures of what you did to the lower part where the rad sits on? i was going to start on mine next week and didnt know how to go about on cutting that (if need be) also how dose that bracket on the top hold on? just a clamp over?
The top piece you see in the pick for now just folds over. That is temporary with some aluminum laying in the garage. We are going to get a sheet 24 inches long, that will do the same thing, but cover all of the radiator except the end tanks. We will have to cut down the 24 inch piece a little to do this.
We are then going to put stainless steel alens, with washers, through the alum, and the little bit that is left of the stock radiator support, and a locking nut on the bottom. 3 or 4 should do the job, and look good.
We should get all that stuff done the next time we go out there, but no work will get done next weekend. Were taking a weekend off, and im waiting to get my ecu back, and fuel pump/ injectors, and then with any luck maybe get the car started near end of month....
If you have any other questions let me know. When we get it all done, i will put up better pics, but right now its just temp.
Thanks, Chris
Thanks. I told you i was gonna do alot to it. I just wasn't planning turbo @ the time. I always forgot what kind of springs you had on there.
They will get changed for some drag stuff sooner then later.
Also i will try to get a dyno/street video once it gets tuned. I Will definatly let everyone know when that happens.

Yea, we are ahead of schedule. There is alot left to do, but alot of small stuff.
With any luck the car may start for the first time by the end of febuary...
Texas speed is supplying a mail order tune that is super safe for like 2-3 psi, on 60 pound injectors. We then hope to get the car running, work out any small bugs, and then get it to the shop its being tuned at.
When ever it gets done, it gets done. No rush, but damn do i want to drive it.

All the stuff for the wastegate and bov i got from a local shop that got it for me. Since tial does not include this... I think they may have got it from there vendor for PTE turbo's but those can be found anywhere. They also threw them in when i bought the wastegate and bov.
The 2.5, 3, and 4 inch pipe, along with 02 bungs, t4 flange i got from a non sponser so if you want a link send me a pm and i will get it to you.
Thanks, chris
