Looking good bro. I like the radiator hose IC piping. (;

Got my exhaust downpipe welded with the 02 bung for the wideband today. Got it home wrapped it and installed it. Filled the car up with oil and started to put the charge piping back togother then remembered how much of a pain in the ass it is to do charge piping. I'll mess with it more when i have a chance this week but im soo damn close. I've even got the radiator hose i needed now.

Looks good dude!

Just make sure you weld the tubes to the flange from the outside and smooth-out/port the inside to match the exhaust ports on the head.

Goes to show, it doesn't matter what something looks like from the outside, it's how well it functions that matters.:)

Well I got it all back togother but i cant find my bluetooth adapter to put the pics up. All in all I think it looks really good for having done it all on my own. Had a few problems on initial startup like my malpassi rrfpr blew gas everywhere. Tightening down the bolts on it solved that problem, the i blew oil everywhere lol Fixed the oil leak and started with a coolant leak that i fixed as well. I'll go down this week to get my tag so i can take it to my dads to weld something like an exhaust on it. Its much louder than last time since the t3 flange is larger than the t25 flange and the downpipe is now 2.5 inch vs the old 2inch that was crushed to make the bend. The downpipe is to long and too close to the ground but i'll cut it off before i tag it. Had to use the wideband and adjust the idle a little bit as well. I'll try to get the pics up, I used my wifes phone b/c it takes much nicer pics than my phone.

Been trying to clean up the engine bay and touch it up with a bit of stainless braiding. Im nowheres near done but i got more wires tucked/loomed and few things stainless braided. Also got a laptop for tuning and finally got the emanage to connect to it last night (what a pain in the ass). Had the car up to 14psi the other night, what a ride! Kinda scary b/c the car is just too small......

It used to have a function now it doesnt. I didnt just throw it on there b/c i thought it was cool. I reallly need to get a boost controller but i've got it settle around 10-11lbs for right now and the water/meth injection starts about 9psi. The car always ran great before this build its just the turbo blew on the prior build and was a small pos. It did put down 190whp and 220lbs of torque on that setup (w/o water/meth). I anxious to see some #'s but the stupid emanage cable broke and i've got to make another one now. When i had the car running at 14psi the other day it was just nasty.....
