Updated progress pics, Tercel ***NEW PICS ADDED***
Well, heres where I'm at right now. The turbo is installed and functioning, FMIC, installed (waiting on the pipes to come back). Still need to get the Megasquirt, EDIS, and a decent BOV. Theres still some odds and ends to get from the wreckers, but its mostly together. I was orginally going to use a carb, but decided that the MS was going to be better for reliability and more HP.
What I could use too is somone to "re do" my exhaust manifold. When I had it made I didnt realize that the flange had to be thicker than the turbo inlet flange. If somone could make one for me for a decent price that would be cool.. I would be able to send my old one so you would have somthing to go from.
FRONT VIEW (new bumper cover)
Another 3/4 (with the ever present mesh rims)
Mod on the old gauge cluster, the boosdt gauge will be in the center and the A/F will go to the right on the tach... who needs a speedo anyways
Lousy pic of the turbo installed.
Heres a pic of the manifold I wouyld like to have re done (but better)

Re: Updated progress pics, Tercel
With the manifold I'm mostly worried about cracking. I will be putting the lowered suspention from my 5dr on it somtime in the near future, and hopefully a skirt kit off a Corolla GT-S coupe. Then its getting painted flat black.
THe pipes come out the front of the intercooler because there wasnt room to have the pipes in behinmd. The IC pipe come out the grill and attach to the front "bride of frankenstein" style (look at the pass side of the grill and you can see the cutout). A friend of mine at work is welding all the pipes up for me.. I cut them and tacked them all in place buty I figured his snazzy pants millionaire welder would do a WAY nicer job than my "princess auto" $79 stick welder..

Yeah, its going to look ghetto, but it will do for now.. I'l probably change the IC (I would like a 944 unit) next year and improve a few other things.. but for now I'm, happy with it.
Very HMT stylee that's awesome.
