EDIT: Is that an idler pulley you have that replaced your airpump or something else running off the front drive?

Here's one of my shade tree water pump idler bracket (and you can even see the Y-pipe) now that the air pump is gone.
The bracket looks better than the two right angle pieces I had on there.

I'll probably pull them when I get the new turbo's on.
your car is your daily driver? just take some time..if it rains, then cover the car up and do it the next day..lol
im still scared of doing my own uim/tb swap..my idle is perfect and i cant afford to play with it..i think im gonna take it to a shop next week..

some people are so negative......do something you think is a good thing and all they can do is point out what you haven't done. Buy me an Efini Y-pipe I'll get it polished and put on soon as I can. As for the TB it's ready to go on.....waiting on someone to do it for me. You busy ? ? ?

Can't wait to see what happens when you get the high flow turbos on there. Have you thought of getting the helicopter E-shaft as your next upgrade? I heard it nets like 100+ extra hp to the wheels. Have fun.

CantGoStraight,
Looks good. I hope my polished parts look as good once everything goes back together. Here's a shot of my old setup (with the Efini crossover pipe cut):
http://mahjik.homestead.com/files/FD...8/MVC-005F.JPG
I took off a little over an inch to make it fit. The main problem is that I cut off the bevel which help keeps the IC coupler on. I didn't have any problems with it coming off, but I sill may go back and cut off another inch and then add the ending bevel part back on.

I'm not sure what it is with the Efini we had to trim Tom's piping too (mot an inch) but some none the less to work with the Efini. I notoced you trimmed you duct as did Tom and put the rubber edge seal around it ???? My duct is untrimmed and seems to fit well (there is a gap on the passenger side though where the duct extends out and is flat. Thanks for the compliment's as i hate taking apart a car that is running fairly decent just to add something that doesn't add to function. I was going to get the ports matched and polish the interior of the runners but will wait till I can install the 95 LIM. Jack
