Wow. Nice/clean for sure. :y I like it. The FMIC black with the black mess is hot, but the gauges in the glove box is cool. I was looking at that driving down the road the other day and thought it'd be pretty cool in there. Looks cool, but smashing gears that thing probably flops around. :S I got ALOT of junk in my glove box though and my gauge is nice where it's at so. LOL.

Thanks for all of the replies. I went for a reliable setup, basically 6-7lbs of boost (according to my MAP sensor), but, I could have gotten more power.
Ive had problems with oil leaking from the CHRA of the turbo. Ive gotten advice to check my return line and today I did that. I am using a restrictor .060 (1/16") and my gauge reads all the way up to 75PSI !! I dont understand how its possible, but anyway, I was told that the oil viscosity (Im using 5w30) and the proper oil level are contributing factors to the leak. I dont mind getting my turbo rebuilt, but I dont know if the problem is that my oil pressure is too high, because even after a rebuild the high pressure may damage the rebuild. Does anyone have any suggestions?

looks ------- awesome! good job!

one question...why not face the turbo the other way for easier DP routing? it doesnt look to be a/c compatible, and thats about the only reason to face it the way you did
