Hells Yeah! Good thing you did it, huh? Now when it blows up you'll be able to rip it apart and fix it yourself. Every time it blows up you'll get better at fixing it. The FX has come to a matter of hours to switch a piston & head gasket if a make a small error of tuning judgement. Not to mention the fact that if I do it, it's basically free. Ya done good.

Great looking setup. Good job. ;P God that really sucks about the whole accident. But I guess bigger and better things await. Nice RFL!

I installed mine tonight. I love that little booger.

Re:WAS offering $500 for someone to install turbo in my car

thanks peeps, and i went to a body shop today, its gonna cost about $1500

so i called up my parents for backup and asked them about if we could file a claim on our insurance without our payment going up...my father's words were "hell, our payments can't go any much higher than it is now" LOL so yeah, i can do it through our insurance, and hopefully it will all work out

im not sure what your saying about me tuning it and blowing crap up, i didnt think THAT far yet :P

yeah i love my RFL, but its stickin up really high, and the fitting hits my hood lol, theres 2 little dents

but its cool, ill get the piping right soon, and move the bov lower, also i seem to be running only 3 psi now instead of the original 9psi, since i disconnected my vaccum line on my deltagate *i didnt want that annoying lawnmower noise from it* so now, i think i have to increase the spring tension

bah, ill figure it out soon enough!

and yup! its running and alive, thanks thread lock from lock tite! props to Todd, BlinD, and hmt members for help. once i get it tuned right, which will probably take forever, ill get some numbers! yaaaay i got mail i got mail, yaaaaaaaaaay!

Re:WAS offering $500 for someone to install turbo in my car

Probably leaking ---- from that open vac line on the deltagate.. yeah my rfl is on the back of a pipe next to my battery.. That thing is big. lol. 1500 is rediculous. Go through insurance definatly your not doing anything custom I'm guessing so through their body shops will probably be cheapest anyway. When I wrecked my car I went a little crazy on the body stuff...
