thanks.
i gotta tell ya...its not easy hiding wires....props to the ones that do it well!!!!
i still have more to go....but all wires are safely tied out of harms way and are safe from heat....
what i would like to do is move the wideband conrtoller inside the cabin sometime down the road.....it will get more work to it but tommorow im going to get the registration for it and get this damn thing on the road....taking off the UIM i found some VAC leaks and some of the hoses werent zip tied on to the manifold so i did this,
remember.....im going to do more wiring later on........

update......
got it registered and about 130+ miles on it in the last 2 days....vacuum is getting cleaned up....really hard to stay out of boost....i can tell it wants to pull hard.
also, i forgot to put a T bolt clamp on the IC hose coming off the turbo.

800 miles...yeah work is a long drive from home.....
started boosting 10LBS today and forgot my damn camera to make a vid!!.
pulls really hard...not a clue how much HP i have right now. timing is real conservative and its running kinda rich for safety.....
actually i havent....before i get it tuned im going to though. im getting a washer resivour thats under the leading coil sent to me so i can get this air filter off my turbo and get some cooler air. i also put some water wetter in it today...
.
was it pretty easy to hook up? you go to the junk yard to get the rest of it?
lol, that might be a good thing since this turbo spools nice!! your gonna love it!!

no, im gonna get the one that goes under the trailing coil (somewhere in there) and use that one instead of the one up front. then i can make a CAI or at least put the cone away from the turbo....im working on the cooling now....been reading alot how heat is a BAD BAD enemy on these cars so im taking all precautions.....i might go water injection someday....its an S4 block so im kinda worried about cracking a plate.

ya i hear ya. i have a s5 plate but not the reinforced one so im kinda worried about hat as well.
i have a devils own alky kit img onna be using to keep temps down. i might have to make a cai but not sure if ill have the room ha.
here are my pipes so far, need a few more clamps and couplers.
sadly my bay looks like a mess, guess maybe next time around ill clean it up better

your engine bay looks pretty good, I'm still working on getting all my wires under control too.
what did you do with your throttle cable? it looks like it's just sitting on the alt pully because you got rid of the tmic bracket.
