Default My SOHC Turbo Install with a couple pics

Story: Located a local shop that had one in stock, they matched an online price. I drove down to chicago THAT afternoon and picked up my turbo kit along with a full greddy EVO catback. It was about 9 degrees outside that day, got home around 8pm and figured ahh, what the hell. Turns out I forgot my tools up at school so I went to KMART to get some cheapass tools and went at it. 9 Degrees and snowing the first night in my driveway, worked about 3hrs and got ALL the oil feed/return stuff done. Finished the rest the next day. All in all, LOVE the exhaust and love the turbo even more. My Custom Gauge install is what im most proud of Can't wait for the boost controller, FMIC, and BOV hehe...

Thanks for all your guys' help!

P.S. Sorry SO few pics, but it was tooooo damn cold and didn't want to waste anymore time laying in the snow and freezing.
prolly gettin' rid of the heatshield, fits like crap and is small and ugly IMO..

Mike.... looks great!
you'll have to race all of the other MN guys who are running sohc turbos with the bb. Hehe there are a ton of you guys!
Great job thought.

I'm glad you came to realize that the greddy kit can hold it's on fairly well.
This it would be better for you than that t3t4 custome turbo setup anyways.

I'll be there soon, my apexi kit is just calling my name but swap will be done soon too. We'll have to meet up agian soon

that ******* boost gauge looks kickass. jesus christ. that HAS to be the most JDM thing ive ever seen in my life. Goddammit. You know, ive seen a lot of boost gauges in my day but that one takes the cake. Yessir, if I only KNEW where you got that gauge from, its like I can still smell the JDM natto bean curd on it still. Mike, there are racers, and then there are 90 lbs japanese racers trapped inside tall white guys bodies, and I think you are the latter with running that JDM gauge.


Sick install, and yes it is ******* cold here
