I really like what was done with repositioning the IC and building an intake for the turbo. Do you plan to shroud everything?

coming along nicely. the quality of the work is really great too. glad to see you repositioned the inlet tube of the intercooler. i was wondering how it was going to look if you had to fab up piping to fit the way it was.

do you have any plans for the exterior of the car?

Hey man, awesome thread love what your doing.

Oh and when the guys were explaining about harmful gasses from the battery..its Hydrogen. When a battery is charged, Hydrogen is released. Hydrogen= Boom, BIG boom. Just so ya know.

(Probably not enough to cause an explosion, but If you light a cigarette or spark near the battery while the engine is running..the battery can explode throwing acid and plastic shrapnel everywhere)

You may want to look into changing those worm drive clamps to ones specifically for silicone hose.
