lol, im also planning on using the msd 6al-2, since it has the built in 2 step, no pills needed for rpm, and no additional boxes for the 2 step.

nice.

finally started bolting things up

got the ignition coil pack, oil filler neck, fuel hard lines, manifold, waste gates, downpipe, etc...

then i bolted on the UIM to see what it'll sort of look like

sooooooo excited to see this!!


also i picked up an FJO Injector Driver from forum member Phrost (thanks Jay!)

so now, as far as the turbos go, the only thing thats left is to build the intercooler piping, should be getting done this weekend

Is there any reason why you did not stagger the inlets of the intercooler for more even flow across the core?
