So been driving this car N/A for some time and I'm getting the turbo itch again,that's probably why my friends or most people that know me call me turbodave lol.so I got a s4 turbo LIM from my garage and went to town on it so I can bolt it up directly to the 12a block instead of using a adapter plate.here are a few pictures of what i done to the intake so far.it looks crazy right now but when done should be looking good.ps lot of work has to be done to it but I'm up for it.

Looking good Dave. any pics showing both bumpers installed? Like a side view maybe. i really like the 74's, but noticed most guys over here in the states don't.

Got a 1/2 thick aluminum plate so I can mock up the intake and make sure it will bolt up to the 12a block so i can get it welded up together.






I had to notch the intake runner so it can clear the new bolt pattern.

^yeah lots of stuff gets done here in los angeles.I managed to almost finish the intake i started but wont be able to use it on the red car cause i recently traded the car for a 98 lifted tahoe.here are some pics of the intake which most likely is going to be used in my yellow sedan,and pictures of the truck I got in trade for the 74 rx2.



And the not so gas friendly truck.



Imma sure miss the 74 rx2 but had too many project cars and couldn't afford restoring it how I wanted to.
