Home stretch...sorta
Been away from the club for a minute, for good reason though. Life, Church and everyday type stuff kinda had me out of the loop. All good, I'm back.
Gonna post pics now, picked up a Godspeed radiator
Fuel Rail Upgrade from Rising RPM
Paxson FPR with VDO gauge
RC Engineering 750cc injectors (primary), just need secondaries now (let me know if y'all have any high impedence ones for sale) Got them from my boy Rocky representing Battle Garage from Nor Cal
T04 Turbo from Godspeed, should reach my 300hp goal with no problem now
Will have some more to post soon.
Things I still need:
- FMIC
- Dual Oil Coolers w/mini fans
- Secondary Fuel Injectors & Pig Tail wires
- Gaskets for exhuast
Stay Tuned

How she sits now...
Thought I would also post up the FCs current state. Got things mounted up which was great, however I'm having some fitment issues.
The 3in downpipe is sitting up against the lower intake manifold preventing me from bolting it to the flange on the rear of my turbo. I think my custom turbo manifold doesnt extend outward far enough to allow the downpipe and external wastegate to mount perfectly
Anyone else ever had issues like this?

Pic of super lame clearance issue
This is the downpipe hitting the lower intake manifold because the turbo manifold does not extend out far enough. Really want to correct this issue fast so I can continue. Considering just picking up a different turbo mani:

I'm back, damn this thread hasn't been updated.
Update: As of 3.19.14 , the FC is almost near completion, just need to have all the OEM engine wiring hooked up, vacuum crap, rats nest and injectors plugged up. The exhaust setup needs bolting up and all my new turbo & wastegate fitment finallized.
*for my So Cal peeps* Anyone know of any cool spots to drop my car off to to get this all taken care of? Need a good quote.
Also, If anyone has connects on a decent FMIC with piping, I'd be happy to buy...

*UPDATE*
OEM T2 Harness is now being modified and re-loomed for the next part of my install saga. Still in search of a decent FMIC/Kit...leaning towards a GodSpeed unit. I'd like to pick up a Greddy or HKS but can't seem to find a reasonable deal.
Damn.

Sick!!
Thanks to my boy Bijan, he gave me back my now freshened up OEM wiring harness. Need some new adaptor plugs for my RC injectors and have a source, should be cheap.
Waiting to flip some Coachella tickets for more funds...damn buyers are not coming in as fast as I anticipated.
Once I get more dough, I should be able to complete this list of final stuff:
- FMIC Kit
- Car Battery
- New Windshield
- OEM Oil Cooler
- Rebuild the BBS wheels
- Exhaust gaskets
- Block off plate kit
- Front Lip
Until then...

Cool man, feel so disconnected from the community, things were so dope back in 2008-09
Comission check is on it's way next Friday
Super stoked, dropping the FC off to get buttoned up at the shop and then rebuild the wheels to a 10in front and 10.5 in the back.
Thanks for your support dude, always been down...stay tuned
