Started 4/04

Last day of being NA!:




The parts:


4/13/04: Turbo mounted! Had to grind and cut and bleed a lot, though




6/25/04:
Realized I had put the head gasket in wrong...oil shooting out like a super soaker all over the place. Cried a little...was sick...then had it towed to a shop to correct the problem.

7/7/04: Finally DONE! (minus paint...front end looks poopy)

Car looks pretty clean and the install looks good! Good job and good luck with the set up!

Yea, the HG only has the word UP printed on it. lol Anyway the setup looks pretty good. Three months to install the turbo? What happened to the skunk (or whatever manifold that is) intake manifold?

I swear I looked all over that damn thing and couldn't find any indication of what side was up and what side was down. I looked for 5 minutes straight.

And I also didn't realize I had to buy the Type-R stuff to make the IM work right, so I'll just add that on later.

Looks good, let us know the numbers once you get back from the tuning.

You'll enjoy it and it'll be worth every tear/cut you went through.....

dont worry about the HG thing. not alot of people here might admit to it, but trust me it has happened alot.
