Default Pix of my turbo install!

Hey guys, i got this kit off of a member of the forum. Its a Greddy 18g turbo kit. Its got powdercoated tubing and a greddy type s bov. The front mount was silver but i painted it black (dont want to hear heat efficiency responses). I dont have any fuel upgrades yet so i only boosted once to see it the turbo would spool. I have dsm injectors for it and jk from jk-tuning. com should tune it for me soon. I installed an exedy organic clutch while i was working on the turbo. It has a good feel and it should grab pretty hard once broken in. I mounted the boost gauge on the left side of the steering wheel so that it would be hidden. Take a look and tell me what you think.

******UPDATE********

Today I drove 3 hours to carlisle to have john fromhttp://www.j-k-tuning.com street tune my crx. We installed the dsm 440's and he chipped my pr3 ecu. After a couple pulls, the car was driving great. Im runing 9psi and it pulls real hard for low boost. JK did a great job and wanted to let you guys know. Thanks John!

actually i can see the gauge pretty good since i put my steering wheel as low as it goes. I probably will only look at it once in a blue moon anyway.

I got the crossmember from innovative motor mounts. It uses the stock radius arms and has mounts on the bar for the half rad. They also make a crossmember with extra clearance that doesnt hang so low.(which i thought i ordered) I tried to keep the full rad, but the wastegate actuator hit it. I bottomed out the crossmember once already, but my car isnt that low so it shouldnt happen too often. Heres some more pics of the car.
