I think you can apply it to when the Pacesetter LTs first came out years ago. They were hundreds cheaper than other LTs and everyone harped on them about the quality. I personally had them on my WS6 and they looked and fit great.

I got some stuff done. My jack decided to be a piece of **** and it will not jack up all the way so I couldn't drop the headers out. The wife and I went and bought a new jack so I'll be giving it a shot tomorrow.

I think I'm going to pull the IC off and cut away some of the metal behind it to allow for the air to flow through better.

You can but you'll loose your fog lights. If you get a small enough IC, you can fit it in between the fog lamps, and just cut out the license plate area for access to the IC. There are a few builds on here that have it setup like that.

I got a little done today. My v band clamps have not arrived yet. I cut out some of the metal which took forever. I got the headers mounted which took forever with the misaligned bolt holes. I just elongated the all of the holes.

I think tomorrow I'm going to wrap the ps hoses and whatever else may get destroyed. I'd like to drop my k member and tap the pan, but I'm not entirely sure what to do.

Also, I wanted to paint my engine bay. Problem is, I can't find any green that matches my car. I picked up some green that on the cap looks pretty close. I painted a part and that bitch is bright green. I guess I'm going to paint it gloss black when the k member is dropped down.

Does anyone have a link to oil feed/return installation and dropping the k member?

Does anyone wanna trade turbos? I have a gt4294 and the outlet is 3.5" and not 3". I really am not looking forward to figuring that out.
