Jacob. Really nice. Lots of black wrinkle finish paint and polished aluminum. I'd find some way to get rid of the chromed plastic "cage" over the filters, personally, but its all personal preferences.

It was a Garrett GT 35R I believe. Great turbo but before the Borg Warner EFR turbos came into being.

Engine bay around 90% complete


Other Shakitto plate will be installed after I figure out how to uninstall the stupid line-lock that is in the way.

Thank you! It's a U-Type made by FD Motorsports out of Australia. They have a new kit coming out soon and it's going to be much better than this one!

FL Engine compartment evolution continues

Evolution of engine compartment continues. Waiting for the coil pack and fuel system (fuel rails, injectors, regulator) from IR Performance. At that time will add AEM fuel pressure and oil temp gauges and the upgraded oil spray lines.

Feed Afflux... Where did you finally sell it and if you're okay with disclosing the price, how much did it eventually achieve? BaT was wrong not to auction it.
