Default Pics of my turbo setup i promised. (56K=Go away)

k first off this is an 89 Si, IHI rhb5 turbo, untuned NG48 for now, starion intercooler, dsm 450's of course, dsm 2g BOV, all mandrel pipes, its running 8 psi for now(stock), civic VX manifold...thats all i can remember lol.


This was the hardest part, mounting and routing the intercooler pipes, and this bitch intercooler is still crocked lol ohh well ---- it.


my sexy downpipe.


My IHI.


My IHI 2.


dsm 2g BOV.


and last but not least HOMEMade catch can lol.

What do you all think? it took me 2 days but an extra day to fix my oil leak, it pulls pretty hard and it kicks in at around 2800 the bov sounds nice too.

Is that a Gatorade bottle? lol, looks pretty good man, and I'm sure it'll be just as effective. About how much would you estimate was spent on this setup?

looks good for hmt. couple things:
i didn't notice what kind of fuel management your using. maybe i just missed it
did u fix those oil drips on the oil pan
try to pick up a 1g dsm bov.. i heard they were much better over the 2gen
i hope the plastic catch can doesn't warp from the heat

other than that rock on man. much respect for the boosted D
