Default I'm Finally FI

It's finally done!

After several long days, a few custom tools, a lot of blood and the worst flu I have ever caught she's together!

Here's a couple pics of the install



and I learned, that the waste gates suck as much as you said they would...







The car is being trailered down to MRC on the 22nd to get tuned!

I can't wait!

Thanks for the great resource guys! With out your advice it would have taken twice as long!

Good Job, I definitly know the feeling of putting a turbo kit on yourself. But in the end its worth it. Hope you get some good numbers out of the tune.

looks good, I hope you had as much fun as I did with those stupid wastegates lol. I just installed the wastegate relocation kit a couple days ago so now it's easier to work on but I had to take it all back apart which wasn't fun.
