Let me be the first to say congrats to a fellow Greddy turbo lude. Can you take some pics of the downpipe? I still need a larger downpipe and I can't find anyone that'll do it. How did you do that custom intercooler piping? I thought the Greddy type 24 inercooler has the air coming in from the driver side, and out of the passenger side. Did you relocate the battery to the back?

Normally I can't stand that body kit, but for some reason I like it on yours. Perhaps it is the hood that makes it work. No, it's the intercooler Very nice, looking forward to your dyno numbers.

Nice car man.
I am not into asthetic mods but I think you REALLY did up the motor. VERY impressive.

thanks a lot guys... i am considering ditching the wing, but i can't decide, if i do, i am definately buying one of those c/f trunk lids from satan_srv and painting it to match the car. yes, the engine is fully built, and pretty soon i will have an even better custom downpipe utilizing and external wastgate setup. my AEM EMS should be here in a week or so along with larger injectors, so i am gonna crank up the boost a little for now, maybe like to like 10lbs for now, and see what happens.

as for the battery, i still have one under the hood. it's an oddysey PC680, it's small as hel, but all the other turbo guys around here (all 4 of them, but no other turbo Hondas ) have them, so i figured what the hell, i mean, all you need a battery for is to start the car, after that, the alternator does all the work
