Did you ever find out what mounts Checkers gave you?
I'm envious too, it was 36 here in Jersey today, and high the rest of the week will be 28. Salt all over the roads. Looks like I'll be driving it around March!!!
Nice 10AE. I bet your glad it finally all came together. Enjoy it.

Hah, I'm just the opposite, I will never buy a turbo again, god damn things never work for me! NA's however, they never let me down, until I wreck them, of course! :-D

Thanks all!
Sonic: I got the motor in this weekend, would have been sooner, but I was monkeying with the wrong motor mounts.
Everything seems to be in order except for a big exhaust leak where the DP mounts to the turbo. And of course the boost gauge that doesnt seem to work unless it wants to. Runs a little hotter then my N/A does, but man, does that thing FLY!
And the passenger side window used to go down, now it doesnt. I think I may have unplugged something. No biggie, standard bugs after a motor/tranny swap.

The main thing now is fixing all the things that got messed up. The car hasnt exactly lived a great life..Both harnesess (wiring) were hacked to peices. I already replaced one (ECU). The list of little offences is endless....
But, it seems that i fixed the boost gauge. And the window works now too. WhaT fuN!!!

*EDIT* How is your car doing? Last I heard, you were having problems getting boost at the low end.

I still don't think i am getting enough boost at the low end. But I have been so busy lately that I still have to install my Aftermarket boost gauge, and a few other parts.... I haven't really taken a good look at things lately, I kinda loose intrest in the winter... its cold & shitty car weather, gets dark at 5PM .. I will get back to it and have it all set again by this summer. I do drive it at least once a week though runs perfect! other than the low end boost.
