I pulled everything off to put it on, and it's a pain in the ass. I'm bead blasting the charge pipes today to make them look new again, so I should have them back on tonight



I'm glad I decided to before I put the motor in, because I can't see how it can be done after the swap is completed....



So you're the one that bought it! What's it like, how is it?

holy crap, i guess I should just pull the motor

Cool Scott, 10psi isn't even starting to turn the compressor much. Tickle it to 23psi & it should open up quite a bit....

I can't wait to see what your numbers will be, so hurry up! :biglaugh:

Got a good tune tonight, feels MUCH faster :) Now its starting to catch up to my SP. More boost to come soon. I'll let you know ;)

Since I'm putting the A/C back in the car, I had to move my intercooler. I'm going to mount it directly to the fram rails. I took it to a friends shop, and we made brackets to be welded onto the sides, but he ran out of Argon. :icon_conf Oh well, it will be done Monday.

I did get the tach installed & the Koyo radiator & hydro fan mocked up....
