you can modify the clips you have but if you can get the dsm clips itd be easier. and yes dumptube kiks ***. i just made one last nite cuz sit took me a little while to find the pipe to do it with. on my dyno sheet it shows up really good when the wastegate opens. i feel a nice difference on the top end now. also you need to talk to your fab guy about place meant of the flange for the ext. wastegate myne is in a bad spot.

hmm if you used you used an OBD0 harness in your car the injectors will plug right in, if OBD1 i think you just need to cut out a littl notch or somthing...

Oil presure guage I personally like running an electrical because I don't like the thought of hot oil running into my car but some people feel different than I do, you can use either...i run the stealthmode kit with the firewall t and all its good ----

You have obd0, but you listed crome as your engine management (which is obd1) I would just run turboedit (obd0) and do that. The conversion to obd1 will cost you more money, but the obd1 engine management seems to be more popular/user friendly than the turboedit.

Definately ditch the air/fuel gauge. It's completely worthless. Oil pressure gauge I like mechanical. I've had an issue with the autometer electric sender, and some others have as well. The mechanical gauge is cheaper, but I wouldn't run anything but a stainless line into the car, which will offset the savings of the gauge anyway. If you have a stainless line going into the car, you aren't going to have to worry about "oil in the car" :P

While you're at it, I'd sell the cam gear too. It ain't gonna do ----. Good day, noob.

The car has already been converted to obd1...hence it's running a p28 and that's why I'm gonna use crome

the firewall kit will allow me to have that stainless line into the cabin for the oil pressure gauge...? I'm actually leaning towards mechanical as well...
anyone has a oil pressure gauge that want to get rid of? I'll trade you the air/fuel ratio gauge....

The firewall kit actually brings a 3 way junction up to the top of the firewall to make it more accessable, but it won't reach into the car. You'll need the firewall plus another feedline to git-r-done.

I'm the one building the manifold, downpipe and dumptube. The dumptube will follow the DP and exit after the engine. If it's annoying I can always just merge it later. :P

Clutch is alos upgraded when another friend of ours owned the car. Can't remember which clutch it is though. I built the transmission too. Soo if it blows up..........sucks to be me !

Don't worry pics will be up sooner or later

----, I should have bought the firewall kit together with the oil line kit at least I'll save myself 20 bucks.

hmmm I actually have an extra feedline laying around. let me go find it...so mechanical it is!
