Finally Boosted...*56 no i-d-e-a*...
Thanks everyone for always helping me out with all my n00b questions and for providing such an excellent site so that someone like me can be able to boost my daily driver safely and altogether very affordable in the meantime. Thank God to for blessing me with all the good deals I came by and helping through the problems that occured not to mention that He keeps me safe when I drive it now. LOL. Thanks My friends I have made on here to help me on my way. Thanks to David (Csaddict) for letting me nag him all the time and making my wonderful manifold 
, my Dad who learned about turbos through me and HMT and built his first turbo car not to mention LET me do this and to have our very own Father-Son project, my sister who supported me, threw her in the seat on the 1st night back in a 2nd gear pull, and is helping me with my upcoming vids, my friend Chris who helped where he could, Jay that let me nag him and show me the how-to and got me nice deals, and finally John (93turbo16) who did a fantastic job on my fuel management and tuning. Thanks again to everyone! I'm VERY greatful.
First off is the Racemode Van (this is for you Dan (SinisterCRX)). I'm ready to run 'em! As David said, comes with factory rice (a wing). It has the tunertoys.com sticker under the wing, but I deleted the pic. The Stealthmode is in the front windshield on the passenger going down it. I took a pic, but it didn' come out.
Boost Gauge
Money shot
Wide View
Sleeper Style
Kinda Sleeper
Blew my Mr.Gasket Turbo to Mani Gasket. ATP one beginning of this week.
Thanks, Jay.
Dad cut this pipe and the exhaust man welded it. So basically, my Dad did the downpipe. Not bad, huh? We had 4" to work with.
Best Oil Dump EVER!
Fab shop recommended this 30 degree fitting, then the Stevemode on top. No bends. Best part of the whole car.

I can say this is one of the nicest turbo setups I have tuned for a single cam. You guys were great to work with and I am glad that your trip up and back was good. The car has a huge power band, boost comes on very quick and pulls all the way like it should. You will definitley surprise a bunch of people in this car.

Thanks John. Very good tuner. If your in the Central PA area or drove 3hrs (like me) to be there, go see this guy. He was very quick and knowledgable on turboing vehicles not to mention the 5 cars all ready or boost and the crazy amount of turbo stuff that filled a 2 car garage.

Just ditch the inlet gasket from the mani to the turbo. Tighten her down good and if your flange isn't warped then you shouldn't have any problems with leaks. I've yet to use a gasket or any gaskets from manifold down to the tailpipe with no leaks. So with all these people that helped you out, what did you contribute since someone made your manifold, someone tuned it for you, someone else did the welding? What was so father-son?

I worked and bought it. Then we assembled most of it. We have a lack of tools and actually had to do all the work at my grandparents house (thanks for the garge). We don't own a welder, a wideband, a EPROM burner, etc. I wasn't planning on doing this all the time so no need in buying all that stuff for one time.
