ok manifold is on now and man is the vacuum hoses a pain to put on!
turbo oil feed line is on.
and i decided to pull off the cooling fan and shroud and i will be putting on electric fans that are slim because i like the not so packed engine compartment look. here are some pics

ok guys here is todays progress. got the msd electronics installed, the new slim fan and relay installed. but im thinking i might need another fan. we will see. also got the aem wideband probe installed along with some downpipe insulation and the turbo hot side heat cover on also.
while i was at it i pulled out the charcoal canister as im going to be NOWHERE NEAR STREET LEGAL.......LOL

Yikes Why did you use exhaust insulating heat wrap on the intercooler piping instead of reflective heat wrap? It does look pretty though .

i used exhaust wrap because it holds in temp better. i honestly think the reflective crap dosent do much. plus i wanted the best insulation for the cooler intake temps.

got the car running today afr's show 10/1 VERY rich. at 1000 rpms it seemed to run ok, but when it hit 750ish it would sputter and die. i will have to figure it out tomorrow.

ok fellas im pretty much done with the car, all i need to do is install the fuel pump, and gauges in the car. i added another fan to be safe on my cooling. i hate the idea of a overheated car. i took the car around the block and it felt good till it hit 4k rpm's on boost then it stumbled. im sure this has to do with NOT being tuned or the boost retard being set. friday i have an appointment at my tuners to get tuned im sure this will go well seeing as he has done 4 or so cars for me in the past. here are a few pics. let me know if you guys have questions.

once im tuned i will. i just figured out that the 4k rpm stumble is from the factory ecu advancing.
that problem will be dealt with shortly.

How are you fixing that problem? I'm glad its up and running! My motor with the turbonetics kit is scheduled to go in next monday. I hope mine goes as well as yours.

i figured the 4k problem out. turns out i had the msd unit set incorrectly. at first i had it set at a min point, then tried the high point. both were not good. i then tried the happy medium point and it worked better and didnt stumble as much. from there i backed it off a slight bit more and the car became MUCH better. then i readjusted the safc to accomidate the new boost point fueling and it ran very well. slightly choppy but driveable. the car felt very good tonight despite the slight choppyness. the choppy feeling im sure will be tuned out after a few dyno runs. tomorrow the exhaust goes in, the day after the new clutch goes in !

wish me luck fellas ! im hoping for a healthy 320 rwhp

Sweet, thats the same kit im going with. Let me know how it works out and what you make hp wise.
