Yo, so i have a car and i have been working with it for sometime.. i have a few great friends and one sticks out the most[andy @ autoaddictions]. i have built a car that really has no rules,but i plan on doing the 67mm turbo thing eventually. but it will be different than most i promise you that :] so heres my heap built form firends love and no money,thus...my life.

k20a3 crower rods 11.7 wisco pistons
STOCK SLEEVES

skunk stage 3 cams and valvetrain
ebay modded manifold and turbo/intercooler
10 point molly cage via diamondracecars
AEM 1010 ecu

Are those -16 fuel lines? They look huge. Were you planning to go all motor at first? Also are you running the a3 stage 3 cams or the a2 stage 3's?

Might want to do something about that fuel tank venting into the passenger compartment, maybe a simple firewall?

car looks great. hope there is a firewall in your future, to isolate the trunk from the rest of the car.
