A few more updates: More piping has been ordered for the intake. I have started some of the piping, and the I/C is mounted . The new goal is end of July/early August (seeing as I didn't make my initial goal of May). Going on vacay for a week, more updates soon (I hope)!

+1 i'd make sure any pipe seeing pressure is going to be using t-bolts. the intake and stuff is cool with the normal clamps. i just dont trust those pos cheapies anymore after having several brake or pop off during driving.

I guess I should get some more T Clamps then lol?
I got frustrated with the car last night (stupid airbag sensors in the way...), and gave up on it. Now I won't have time to work on it again until Sunday, but in the meantime, I may order some exhaust tubing.

I know that I said all of the intercooler piping was complete before, but now it really is lol. Next up: ordering all exhaust pipes, find out what to do about a drain, oil feed to turbo (have brake line already), and prothane mounts.

Looks very sharp! I almost got the same pipe kit, but opted for black because I wasn't sure how well the "polished" pipes would look. But they actually look great!

Exhaust piping and Prothane mounts have been ordered. If they get here by Friday, I will have the mounts in, and the pan off (ready to be tapped for the turbo drain) by Sunday. On Monday or Tuesday I will start the exhaust with my dad ! I can't wait to get this car fired up (again, but with boost this time)!

Another Slight Update: Most of the oil pan bolts are off of the pan (oil has been drained). Also, everything I ordered will be here tomorrow, so I will try to get the mounts in tomorrow after my 11 hour shift lol. I might have pics soon . Thanks for the comments!
