It lives! Starts and idles fine and dandy. Tad loud with just the downpipe though. Camera went home without me, so will have to wait for more finished photos. I am trying to make this wagon CLEAN, compared to the Reddevil....

Tommorrow I will finish up. Need to get some turbo bracket supports made, get some vacumn line T's, get the breather lines plumbed into the turbo inlet, and the fender and bumper back on. I will also be wrapping most of the piping with heat wrap.

Because with a MAF, and a totally custom set up, I would have a BITCH of a time getting the MAF to fit PRE-Turbo, and then I would have to have a recirculating BOV, which I did/do not have in my possesion.

Haha, thanks for the offer, but thankfully can only use16"rims from now one due to bigger brakes!

Yeah, AWD.

Since this is the dailydriver, I REALLY do not want to bust the motor, so I am going to attempt to stay@ 8 psi, which on a Suby motor is only good for about 200-210 whp.... BUT WAY better than it was! The motor itself is good for 400 whp, but that power is all in the tune, of which I am know to suck at. ::)
