Default pics of my car finally done

well after about a year and a half ive finally finished my project. I went through two turbos that both ended up too small untill i finally got the right one. Im running 10-12 psi on stock engine using Uberdata and 450 blue tops. It took my brother and i 10 hrs to do because the damn wastegate was bad on the volvo turbo. so... i cut off the wastegate on a spare rhb5 turbo and made a bracket to fit on the t-3. on the first run i had an exhaust leak so i pulled the turbo off and resurfaced it. Ran smooooth. my uberdata base map actually is running quite well other than the fact that im going through gas rather fast. turbo pulls hard all the way to redline. one thing weird is that i had to pull off both radiator fans (and remove ac)and my temp guage usually only opperates at 1/4 of the way up only goes up to half way when im in a drivethrough idleing.

Looks good. Fix the links though, I'm too lazy/tired to copy and paste
