It's DONE! Engine Bay Project Complete!

The car needs a few more things as a whole but the engine bay is DONE!

Here are some shots.

I still need to pull off the adhesive (red) covering on my double sided tape near the headlight brackets and re-route a vac hose for the BOV, but other than that it's DONE!

Tell me what you guys think.

Looking good Kenny. Got the parts Friday (I believe) still haven't opened the box yet. I'll let you know when I get that J-pipe done for the secondary turbo. Jack

nice, did you receive your BNR 3 turbos yet? I'm assuming you did since everything is put back together.

Yes, the BNR's are installed.

Not much powdercoating done, a few parts ceramic coated from Goodfella. The rest were polished by Cantgostraight. The alternator was done by a local alternator shop, the guy thought it would look cool and I love it!

Thanks for the nice words guys!
