Default My 10 Day Build / Now With Final Pics and Dyno Graph! :)

I wanted to make a little picture show of my install to share something with this site and all of you out there. I have enjoyed reading, looking at pics and videos of many of your cars so I wanted to return the favor. First of all I want to thank everyone who has helped me and those who have posted info on here. I knew nothing about my car six months ago when I purchased her. I spent months doing research on here and basically learned everything I needed to know. I have never done much more then bolt ons (exhausts, intakes etc.) on my previous cars so I owe it all to you guys for educating me to be able to do this. I started out with laying everything out and it seemed a little overwhelming. I had set a date for May 2nd for tuning at Forged so I had no time for any mistakes or setbacks. The hardest part was getting the little pieces and parts to make everything work together. I made many trips to various tool and car parts stores along with many orders on ebay and from vendors on here. Once I had all the parts I made a plan of the order in which to install everything. I started out with installing my gauges and test pipes. Also, I would appreciate any advice if any of you see something wrong or something that you would do differently. Thanks in advance and enjoy

Default Then I removed the Manifolds......

I put Detschworks 600cc injectors and replaced my spark plugs. I gapped them to .034". My dad even helped me out with this! Thanks Dad!

Default I then installed a spacer from Powerlab and started to work on the Supercharger prep.

This spacer looks like a very nice piece.

Default Time for the Intercooler and Pipes.

My friend Mike helped me out too. I moved the power steering cooler and just zip tied it. Everything seemed to go together very easy.

Default Snow Performance Meth Kit Install.

I decided to use my stock reservoir for the added capacity. I am going to use my own mix of washer fluid and methanol mix so I can use it for my windows and meth injection.

wow, nice work so far Bryan! keep it up buddy! i love the addition of the cai. superchargers produce a lot of heat, the cold air really will help keep the temps down.

Nice man! That return line setup is way cleaner than the stock line, i should have went that route. I also wish I had the meth, and the polished kit, and the intake...this makes me sad

Btw, I have a polished MAF sensor tube if you're looking to complete the polished look. It came with my used kit, and seems to be a cut down Injen intake with a welded flange. Not the cleanest weld, but it should look better than having the black plastic break up the look. If you're interested I'll shoot some pics to ya next weekend (won't be at my house until them).
