Default Just put my turbo on!

Well after a couple months of researh and colleting parts I now have a turbocharged civic...well sort of. Today was the first day I started the car with the turbo on. I spent the day laying under my car installing the oil feed line with the fitting from tuner toys which I must say worked excellent, then I drilled my oil pan and installed a brass fiting which will allow me to plug it with a threaded plug. As much as I wanted to take it for a drive I'm going to wait for my SMC 500 to arrive which will hopefully be here this week. All I have left to do is run my coolant lines, connect my charge pipes to my intercooler, install injectors and gauges. After I heard my turbo spool and felt the boost comming out of the compressor I just had to let you all know how my project was comming along.
