i'm finally boosted!
 

its been a long journey to the darkside. I have a custom kit i peiced together in the last year and i finally finished installing it lastnight, it was soo ------- cold out in the garage i thought i had hypothermia and had to wait till this morning to test drive it. It took forever but i'm glad i waited and saved up for all the best parts i could afford.

My custom kit includes:
ShitBird short tubular manifold
T3 48/60 60 trim (down2turbo)
charge pipes and donpipe welded by me(Harbor Frieght on sale chop saw and flux core welder, holly ------- splatter!)
Johnnyrace car intercooler 6"
Tial 38mm wastegate (.4bar spring)
DSM BOV *from nonvtec*
Uberdata 1.7
dsm 450s
PLX 300

My car:
del sol
mini me (sohc zc/z6 head)

i tuned it this morning using the wastegate spring(6psi). It rips pretty hard, but i'm ready for more boost now. The open downpipe is ------- loud but the turbo spool sounds awsome. i seem to get full spool by 3300rpm.

well i'm in a hurry to go celebrate tonight so i'll add pictures as i get to them. i just wanted to thank all the HMT peeps who inspired this build up.

3" downpipe, it took a long ass time to mock this bitch perfect... it turned out great, look at the clearance.

extended my open pipe 2 more feet, its actually makes the temporary open pipe tuning more bearable untill spring and i put on a full exhaust.

Sheesh... I'll let Raf stick up for himself but alot of us do it. maybe not as repetedly as D16, but it's become almost a trademark ;) You post up boasting about something without pictures, here comes the man Raf to lay down the hammer. :)
