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.

3/24/11: I was gonna have a bigger update today then the one I am about to post, but my check won't clear until the morning so that purchase has to wait a day haha. As for todays update, I ordered injectors!! I have been in talks with Deatschwerks for the last couple months about their new line of injectors. Skeptical at first to order some I researched, researched and for a change of pace, researched some more. All the while I was in talks with Chris Mills who works for DW, whom was very helpful and didn't try forcing his companies product down my throat.

 

After a couple months worth of debating I finally decided to pull the trigger today and give them a shot. I ordered a set of their 1000cc injectors, hopefully its enough fuel for my goals, if not then I will order their 1300cc injectors and sell these, but I am pretty sure these will be enough. I didn't order these to cut corners or to save a few dollars. I ordered these because they seem like a really solid product, their customer service is top notch and ok they are a better price then the competition lol. These should be here next week. Once I get them in the car and have it up and running completely I will write a better review for others to have at their disposal.

 

I am down to manifold/downpipe/dumptube...gee I wonder what I will be ordering tomorrow :)

Well its been a minute since I updated this so let me get you all caught up to speed.

 

3/26/11: My injectors arrived today!! They were packaged nice and secure, came with a complete printout detailing the injectors flow specs. I might put them in this weekend just to get 1 more thing out of the way

4/3/11: With the track season coming closer and closer I decided I had better get a kill switch setup. I ordered the setup that Tony Palo and T1 Development offer, its seems to be pretty easy to setup. Hopefully that arrives sometime this week so I can get it mounted and wired up.

 

4/12/11 Got word today from Greg at Go-Autoworks that my manifold/downpipe combo should be shipping tomorrow. For now I will leave you with this... Teaser Pic!!

Ya thats exactly what I was thinking when i saw it... I went up to my dad And was liek man that will be probably loud as hell... And he hit me with some turbo knowledge and it sound anything like a open header, it will be a little quieter and a more deeper and meaner growl. Haha guess he does know stuff about turbos. Maybe you can confirm what he said? maybe there is truth idk.

 

Also like Stevie said hope there is no freak ohio weather change! but I dont assume it will be out in the elements. Congrats tho im super excited to see the awesome progress... Cant wait to see you at meets. Just like old times..

4/16/11: Well today it was s***ty outside and since I had nothing else better to do, I decided to take a little nap. Upon being woken up by my pit bull puppy licking my face, I saw a Fedex truck driving by. Jokingly I said "man it'd be nice if that truck stopped". No sooner than saying that, there was a knock on my door and a lady standing there saying she had a delivery for me. I got the box and holy s*** its my parts from Go-Autoworks. I honestly wasn't expecting to see this stuff until Monday/Tuesday, but I will not b**** about parts arriving earlier. Don't mind the pics, the bay is dusty from not being washed in a few weeks and sitting in my garage. I will get some better pics up tomorrow in the sunlight, but for now heres a teaser. The pic doesn't show everything installed but gives you a pretty good idea lol

oh ok! See I was wondering I didnt know if it was tuned already to be able to start up or what. Cool to see you got it running with that turbo so damn fast... If you think about it, it was fast. I still expect a ride when i see you at one of the meets...
