Re: My Homemade Turbo Project...
some pics of the intercooler/piping install:
measured, and drilled holes in top, and bottom of bumper support:
mounted intercooler using 6in. bolts and a big nut as a spacer: (they were too long)
charge pipe is 2" tank truck hose: (as you can see, it should work well)
that's not me: (in case you were wondering... he owns a supercharged gsr hatch(supercharger is not installed yet)
also not me:
Not shown, but hose runs thru stock airbox and will be covered by stock intake tube: (with slit in bottom to wrap over hose)

Re: My Homemade Turbo Project...
Update:
Got the injectors and resistor box in sunday. It was real easy. If not for the rain, it prob would of only taken 45min for both.
Ran like ***, and would barely start til i installed ECU chip. (custom from phearable.net)
It runs great, a lil rich in the higher rpms but thats to be expected (especially w/out the turbo installed).
So, all i need now is the hf to t25 adaptor plate (on order) and downpipe (having it made locally) and the beast will be spoolin.
