Updated pics!

So I finally got my car back from my Haltech / Intake / Exhaust / Misc. stuff work.

Here are the updated pictures, total mods are in the sig.

Engine Bay


Close-up of Intake pipe and removed stuff




FD Alternator with Double Pulley (No second belt yet)


Cut my front bumper up


Racing-Beat 3" Turboback







Impressions and such:

The RB exhaust is damn quiet. I thought it would be a little louder than my last setup (2.5" turbo->catback DP with stock catback) but it sounds identical.

Car runs quiet well. Most of my power band is from 4-6.6k, but I'll verify that once I get on the dyno and fix my problem (Below)

I get boost creep like a mother sucker. Even with my wastegate ported to the max, I hit 14.2 psi on a chilly night on the highway last night. I guess I'll be staying off the throttle for a few months until I can afford a new turbo + manifold + wastegate + fixings

The sound of the air rushing in the intake is amazing. Sounds GREAT.


Up next, I have planned a EGT Gauge, front strut bar, FMIC, Turbo with stuff, Short shifter, and some other things.

But being a poor highschool kid that busts his *** for money is tough

Looks like you got the FD Alternator In. How Is It running? Does It vary much from your previous FC Alternator?

Is it just ported to the edge of the stock flap or did you put a bigger flap on?
