Wow, the piping and the turbo in plain sight look amazing under the hood!
..and I agree about the stickers - you are doing a great job concealing the intercooler, but why? stealth is out of the equation with the vinyl... go ahead and rip out the grille and show that bad-a$$ I/C off!
and do you have ANY dyno charts you can show us? (of your car) I'd really like to see how boost builds and what the torque curve looks like... thanks and congrats again!

Thank you EVERYONE for the kind words. Not to sound lame or ghey but I honestly could never have done this without the help of four people. Brad from Turbonetics, Greg Vogel from Mossy Performance, protocav who pulled an all nighter to help me get the gauges and suspension in place for the test, and JimRhit who was with me and protocav until the end and made a killer gauge mount. To answer some questions,
The gauges are Autometer CF series gauges. I got them from Mossy Performance from Greg Vogel at a killer cost..... (killer in a good way)
The gauge mount for the pillar is also Autometer and also from Greg V
The gauge mount in the center is a piece of carbon fibewr from a racecar that protocav had stashed away in his garage that JimRhit cut to fit for me. BTW if you need some custom dash or stereo work in Socal hes your guy.
The oil temp sensor is actually currently the only non-functional gauge...I have all the wiring run but I needed to get a t fitting. What I am going to do is install a t fitting on the turbo oil feed and run the sensor there. (Or I should so what protocav came up with). There just quite frankly wasn't enough time this weekend to get a fitting.
Wheels are Volk LE37T 19x8.5 in the front 19x10.5 with Toyo 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 in the back.

The pictures do the wheels no justice ... they have a certain depth to them that must be seen in person ... plus the color match w/ the SS is excellent.
Rob ... you know I never go a ride in this beast ... it was already on the stands when I got there late on Friday

Rob ... we won't be using your digicam ... I'll be sure to have mine ... maybe we can get some audio this time
Tuesday it is...
Dyno ... Hmmm I smell an SD Dyno Day brewing. I need to redyno once I get the plenum on and the exhaust leak welded up. let's see what we can get together.

One question I missed, what gauges I thought were a must have...Well frankly all the ones I have. Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure, Oil Temp, and Water Temp.
