[jrot]

Yea. but my old man told me id have to take off the turbo & i don't have time for that since its my daily driver & i work almost every day. Looks like its time to follow my own advice & look for an "el cheapo Honda" & i swear.. theres alway a Honda Fan boy asking for an EXAGGERATED amount for his piece of crap. THEY REALLY GRIND MY GEARS! :3d_frown:

So buy an old beater Chevy Truck with a TBI 350 and run them down in the parking lot. :naughty:

You are 180 degrees out. That is stock. What is different is the K&N intake, the Bosch bypass valve, and turbo. It is mostly clean, but it needs a good cleaning right now. One problem is all the mods from other cars you have seen. And the wires get pulled out, and not put back where they go, and things like that.

I sandblasted and used BBQ paint.

Let it soak in whatever your going to spray before doing the easy out would totally suck to break it off inside

I used flat black. I didn't see the need for gloss, but as I think about it, I don't remember gloss for BBQ. It withstands high heat, and will resist corrosion. It is good stuff.
