I just got a digital camera so I took some pics, I am in the process of putting my project back together. I'm redoing the IC piping that's why there is an air filter

i didn't paint it green, I had a crappy beat up b16 valve cover that was so tore up it looked like ****, so i traded it for a powdercoated lime green one, which i used because it had the cover cut so i could see the timing belt and cam gears

Looks clean... if you want to straighten it up some, hide some wiring, try to move some hosing around.

And if you get bored, start polishing stuff!

Another little thing to do is go to autozone, and check out the domestic performance aisle... they have the chrome snap on screw covers... they look nice.

So I can be all bling bling and my car can be in jay-z's new rap video

Just kidding

I rewrapped all the wiring with new electrical tape, and i rerouted and remounted most everything i could so it would look cleaner. I really can't move anymore hosing around, I got it best i can. I really have to think about what to do with the intercooler piping, the outlet from the turbo crosses over and right next to the manifold and dump tube so i wrapped it with heat wrap, but i'm worried that it's not enough. Also does anyone know where i can get the wastegate fittings one snapped and i want to replace it so i can use a EVC.

I was thinking the same thing. He has a wastegate, manifold, dp, etc...., but has an NA intake on the throttle body.
