Well, put it on the dyno, got 248whp with 11lbs. Had to turn it back down because the map sensor was acting up. I have an Omni 4bar on the way. The BOV only opens on hard pulls, so needless to say, I have some mean compressor surge. The new spring should be here today. I'm now installing my stereo(MB Quart premiums and an Eclipse EA4000), I will have some pics of that and the dyno charts as soon as I get it re-tuned with the new parts on.

Will do. I just got a new BOV spring, I'm making a 3'' downpipe right now, and a smoking deal on a Garrett 57trim turbo from a buddy in Idaho Falls........ so I need to break the camera out and get some new pics anyway. I'm waiting for slow *** "snailpower" to get me a new turbo return line so that I can install all of it together.

Thanks man! It's done, just need to get the camera out. It would be nice to get some decent weather out here to get some outside pics as well.

It's just a single stage championship white. I didn't want to prep and clear it after I had realized what it takes to do this properly, just to paint it once. NO WAY! Next time I might do a base/clear though. Dunno.....

Paint starts here in a couple of weeks. I get paid, and I can buy some materials. Honestly, I was thinking of trying out that $50 paint job diy. I wouldn't mind saving a few hundred dollars. And I do have time. I have seen some of them turn out every bit as good as booth job, sometimes better, because sometimes a booth job never gets the cut and buff it needs. Some people have also said that the paint they use is tougher too. I think I'll just try the trunk first to see just how much work/time is involved. I'll be taking a lot of pics here real soon, so expect some updates.

Thanks man! It hasn't stayed anywhere near the top EVER. Kind of weird, I though. But thanks for the props.

After all the work don't crap out on the paint you will regret it in the long run. Look up a few posts and see that you are already questioning your single stage on the bay, you wont be happy with the amount of work you put into a 7/10 paint job.

Ya, I just didn't want to go through all the sanding twice more after the primer. That would have sucked! BAD! But the outside will definitely be a base/clear. Still championship white though. I've always liked white cars for some reason.
