I hope you are replacing that pipe from the turbo to the inter cooler. That's a boost leak waiting to happen.

The car looks great. You will love the re-routed DDP...I love mine.

My interior - I was replacing the plastic gauge cover with a new one and added a new headlight switch as the old one was broken. I'm about to hook up my boost gauge so I left it a mess...

Running by tomorrow. Hmmm. We'll hold you to that.

Hah, he [we] should have it running by tomorrow. I guess it all depends on how many missing connectors I find when I go over there to check his work again :p But timing, oil/coolant flush and all that fun stuff should happen tomorrow. :D
