you can buy a reverse drill bit at lowes or home depot that you can drill those out with.. it'll end up catching though and then you should be able to back the sheered part off. It'll save you $$ for sure.

Awesome build. My FD is also my first turboed car. I'll certainly be rereading this again for some ideas when I start my build this summer.

We are testing this once the car is completely together. We will do Dyno's with it on and Dyno's with it off. The filter is 11-12" long and about 6" wide. so stay tuned in the next couple of months the car should really start to come together
