Well after months of gathering used parts and researching online my setup is done. Im happy with the outcome and I use it as a daily driver. I could not have done it without HMT or those of you who helped me along the way. Heres some pics.

Clean... looks good.

I think you meant .4 bar, not .04 bar for the spring (otherwise, you're not really boosting much :P)

The body needs work, its really nothing to be proud of. Now that the car runs well Im going to enjoy it for the summer and then Im planning on painting the body later on. I promised my wife Im gonna take a break. I also have brand new 99 Si rims, so, Im gonna get tires and put those on once the body is done.

nice clean looking setup but i have a question putting a set-up on my crx and was wondering how you routed your hot side piping since you clocked the compressor housing downward didnt you have problems with your dp routing or did it not interfere

post some pics of piping(how you routed it PLEASE!!!!!)

To really see the DP I would have to remove it, but I can take pics and explain. Using 2.5" stainless steel 180 degree and 90 degree bends, the piping is directed toward the notch near the center of the crossmember. Then, towards the rear of the car. The cold side uses a Turbonetics 90 degree cast aluminum elbow to direct the flow towards the left side of the IC.
Thanks for the comments.
