Yeh, I know it's dirty, but until I can get the car painted, it's gonna stay dirty/sleeper look. Also, it pulls hard as hell, way more than I expected, and in 5th gear on the expressway, I can just part throttle it and pass people easily. Also, I can burn the tires from 1st to 3rd gear.

yikes...scary mesh on the compressor!

You need a filter. Oh, and an intercooler if you're running 8 psi...

looking good though - that's the epitome of HMT right there. congrats and keep us updated!

Well, the hose isn't kinked, I think it's original though. I need to get my BOV mounted on a bigger pipe . The electrical tape is just there to cover up the connectors. I'll clean that up one day. Anyone got any recommendations to clean out the engine bay? They use salt on the roads here in the winter and it really takes a toll on just about everything. Oh yeh, the stud it broken and I couldn't get it out, so I put some high temp rtv around it and it sealed nicely. I need a downpipe, but I don't really care, I've driven passed cops and haven't gotten pulled over yet.

get some degreaser, spray it on the bock and let it sit for 15 minutes, then douse it with warm water. or get a pressure sprayer at a car wash place.

It looks like your vacuum hose is about to fall off your BOV. Pretty cool setup though.
