The answer to that depends on if you're "serious" about driving that k swapped beast or "serious" about how good it looks in a parking lot. I think your bay looks great.

I really hope that wasn't a serious question. You've been apart of this forum for over 6 years and don't know what a wastegate looks like?

lol give me a break! I felt silly asking about it and had a feeling it was a wastegate but I've never seen one like that, nor in that position.. I'm used to it being closer to the intake or on the manifold. I'm a supercharger guy tho... JRSC on my POS.

Been watching this thread for a while. I'd really love to tuck a few things this winter. Already took out my A/C, and PS. Want to relocate the battery and fuse box as well. not looking forward to drilling out one of the valve cover bolts I snapped in the head this summer. ABS might come out too. Also gotta take my cruise control out.

I've already polished my block & intake arm, wrapped my headers, made a custom rad bracket and have a minty valve cover that I shaved the casting marks and such ready for paint
