Default I finally got my Greddy turbo installed

here is a photo:

I know people say that they have installed it in 6 hours and even less. Me, it took about 24 . I took my sweet *** time and took photos the whole way with my digicam so that I could post the experience to my website. All and all, it was easy. Putting the oil pressure line on was more time consuming than the rest. The oil pan was a piece of cake. Modifying the front right under the bumper for the IC piping was a bitch.
The car performs great. It definitely winds up there quick and since the exhaust is so much quieter, I have to keep an eye on the tach a lot closer a first. And of course, I have to make sure to let that baby idle a minute before I shut it down.

It is a Greddy oil cooler and I am really glad I got it. The temperature has been in the 100's in Austin the past few weeks. The oil cooler is aluminum and weighs about 2 pounds maybe, very light. It was really the only place it would fit after the IC was installed. It is a HUGE difference over stock, but, not fast enough . I want to tune it and boost it higher, higher! The site has photos and more to come with detailed instructions.
