Ohhhh but you see, up here we don't really have spring. It's winter or summer.
I won't have to change the thread title because we still have a bunch of snow on the ground. Driving through my backalley is a nightmare, with the ice partially melted the ruts are massive. It is however suposed to warm up here in a hurry, so they say.

I have not installed the coilovers yet. Maybe one night next week, it won't take long. Power tools and large compressor FTW.

If I was racing to get this done, It would have only taken me about 3 wekends to complete. And if I was to build another kit like this it would take much less time than that.

Working on some fuel stuff as well as PCV system. The hose you see there is reinforced, and does not collapse. That will run to the catch can, and the catch can will be connected to the turbo inlet. The other passenger side vent will be tapped off, and the large hose on the drivers side (by firewall) will have a check valve. Should have a few more pictures in the next few days.

I got them at a local perfomance shop. Shouldn't be hard to find.

It was suposed to be done two weeks ago, but there was a problem with the fuel correctin kit. Then, instead of getting shipped express, it went regular mail.... So hopefully it arrives this week.

So I have been taking my time I guess. Wheels should be here in two weeks too...so that at least is some good news.

The rest of the fuel return will ofcourse be braided line. There is a samall chance that I may have some dyno numbers within a week.

Hey bud great job your skilled at what you do. Very nice and clean set up on top unique.
Now i have a question why didnt you just do a y split in and out the fuel rails. I think the way you designed this at high rpm wont work since your feeding the first 3 cylinder and then its going to the other side not sure if im wrong or right just asking let meknow thanks BTW how much hp is this for.

Pessure will be equal and there is no way I will run out of fuel. Not to mention the OEM rails have the crossover line right at the infeed. I also have dual widebands so I am not worried about it at all.

The car is now running with the turbo and Haltech. It idles really smooth and at about 650rpm. I was finally able to get it out of the garage and on to the driveway for a quick wash, so much crap built up on the car over the winter. Either way I am very happy with the way things are right now.

The VAF has been removed and ofcourse the CEL is on, so I may end up sending the stock ECU for a reflash to get rid of the CEL. Other than needing a tune, (running rich at idle, 11.5:1) it is all ready to go. I hope to have some numbers for you guys next week.
