FINALLY 100% project complete
as many of u know I did a single turbo & auto to manual swap. today finally finished up everything and was ready to give it a little test drive to break in the newly overhauled tranny and clutch & pressure plate and etc. before I start tuning it. anyways I would like to share my pics with u all. let me know what u think with the finished product.

I'm hoping someone else will be able to answer this question: Is it just me or do those headlights stick up a LOT from the bumper/hood? I actually had C-west headlights (original) installed on my car awhile back and I'm pretty sure they didn't stick up like that. I can't determine if it was cuz of my non-stock front-end and hood that the lights flowed better or is it cuz of his headlights?
Are they original C-west headlights or replicated ones? Car looks great otherwise. I really like the clean look of the engine bay.

they do stick out a bit, which isn't reall a problem.... but don't the newer ones have a better fit than the older ones? what about light output?
the wheels look good, i would have gone for the 99 front as well...

I had real C-west light on my car. THey didn't stick out nearly as far as that. And the smaller of the two lights wasn't crome. Maybe I had a differnt version? I'm positive they were authentic.
Nice car too

Question:
What parts are required to do single turbo conversion?
For example, if I go with Apexi single turbo kit, PFC, Intercooler + radiator, fuel pump, what other stuff are needed?
New fuel rail? Fuel injector?Is it possible to run it without BOV? Or perhaps a plumb back BOV?
How loud is it from say...3"catback with DP?
How hard was it to do the manual conversion?
What are the required parts to do the manual conversion apart from ECU(PFC) and clutch pedal?
Many thanks in advance

as for the 3" exhaust with out a cat and and a DP&mid it is very loud
the tranny swap is not hard as it is obtaining the parts at least for me it took a while to find all the parts, to find a tranny in FL that lopez hasnt bought.
parts for the swap I put what I can remember but for the future use the search I dont mind answering but some of the guys around the boards would flame U
I have heard u can use the PFC instead of going stand alone ECU but I'm not sure I went stand alone. 5spd tranny & driveshaft (auto driveshaft not the same),5spd differential or keep the auto one just buy the companion flange,slave and master cylinder,lines for them,clutch & brake pedal,flywheel,clutch & pressure plate,pilot brg,throwout brg, if I missed or forgot anything guys feel free to add
