3/20/11: Woke up this morning feeling motivated to work on the car. Started off by adjusting the valves with help from my dad. Then I had a couple buddies stop by and we got to thinking, "lets mount this intercooler", so thats just what we did.












Oh and my son (Tyson) lending a helping hand haha

No need to cut the grill out. If for some reason I see the intercooler becoming heat soaked while on the dyno, then maybe i'll cut it out, but until then I like the hidden look.

BTW couple pics added

3/22/11: FedEx man came to visit me today!! With him he brought intercooler piping, couplers, clamps and my oil feed line from Go-Autoworks!!!! Started to do a little mocking up with the piping as well, discovered I need to exchange 2 couplers for bigger ones, the one to my tb and to my turbo aren't big enough. Not a real big issue though. I am going to paint the piping black. For now heres some pics

3/23/11 Got the intercooler piping all painted up. One piece isn't pictured due to it still hanging up drying lol. I thnk it came out pretty good and should look nice in the bay.

Manifold/Downpipe/Dumptube- Ordering tomorrow
Injectors- Might be ordering tomorrow as well
Boost Controller- $46 dollars and ordering end of the month (group buy with friends)
Tuning- Just have to pay for dyno time....

So really not a whole lot to be honest.

i figured you didn't have much left, came a long way though, what manifold you going with?

i have been in talks with 2 companies, Go-Autoworks and Boostflow. They both have advantages, I have dealt with Go-Auto a ton in this build, but Boostflow has manifolds in stock ready to ship, where go-auto is 3 weeks out..
