1 clean fb turbo build.

So bought the car two years ago. Been restoring it little by little. The exterior/interior and suspension is done. So now to get Moar power.

FIRST things first j started ripping out everything that I absolutely do not need. I want close to 0 wiring. Clean up the motor blah blah blah.

Let's just get to some pics of the car and progression.

Install stage 5 clutch.

Wait for rotary shack to send my parts.

Nice intercooler. I found an Audi intercooler I want to use, but I don't know if I can squeeze it in there with the FMOC,A/C,and the radiator. I dunno I'll figure it out when I get there :P
