How far off is it, Ben? What's left to do? I can't wait to see what Marky-Mark can do with your tune

leigh is doin the 4" dump pipe, airbox, overflow/washer tank, and pwr steer res. then dump is off to get coated, so while thats gettin done the wiring will begin, fit up the rear end, and tune it lol so still a few things to do

[2rismo]

Joe at Profab has made the 4" dump pipe for me and fitted the O2 sensor, plumbed the gate back and is remaking the cooler pipes (some were still made of steel) and what was there wouldn't work with the front facing plenum and different location of the turbo. Joe also modified the power steering pump to space the pulley forward in the bracket. Here's some pics.

Cooler pipes finished today and car at auto-elecs getting oil pressure warning light and AFR meter wired. Just have to run a line to the ECU's MAP sensor and then we'll fill it with fluids and fire it up.
