well the car made it home :fy: (on a trailer though...:tear:)

battery box is installed, heat shields "roughed" in, cables, water, and brake lines heat wrapped...all thats left is 1) run power cable to from trunk to engine bay 2) finish heat shields / wrapping 3) install everything for good!!

as soon as the wife quits making me go to crappy stores like bed bath and beyond and my work lets me go home....i will try and finish it this weekend but i do have another baby shower to deal with on sat....so if anyone wants to go to my house and finish her for me :bigthumb:

the only problem i have is a small pin hole leak in the center of the collector at the flange where the turbo bolts up...other then that she starts building boost around 3800rpm...full 12psi (wastegate spring pressure is 10) by 4200psi....stable to redline... had to add about 5% more fuel thru the AFc but other then that ive gone through a tank of gas so far and i love it!!! cant wait til spring!!!
