I would highly reccomend atleast a rattle can paintjob on your car...that way you're not runnin around looking like the partridge family or something.

I'd definately fix some of the "ghetto" parts of your kit first though...like the duct tape on the charge pipes, other than that it looks good.

I STRONGLY suggest you wrap your positive terminal on your battery in leather or something of that nature.

if you dont you'll be sorry.

When ur @ homedepot go to the conduit section... they have like adjustable metal straps to hold conduit and other piping in place. Thats what I used and it works great for holding my IC straight.

Well I went to homedepot and I grabbed a 2" clamp from the PVC pipe section and it didn't fit right so I just went with the duct tape again!! I acctually made some boost too...only 4psi but she runs...It spools very late i think for a .48 a/r somewhere around 4000-5000 rpms so I'm guessing I still have an exhuast leak, I'll have some time this weekend to work on her...Matt

Oh yea I also cracked my radiator so I am getting a half width one, that will make things a little easier!
