They said tomarrow the fuel kit should all be in and he has the whole day to work on it, so hopefully they will get a lot done.

Banzai racing put the uim, greddy elbow, and bov on. They are trying very hard to get the car back to me by this weekend, but there have been a few set backs like no O2 bung in the down pipe. All in all though it is starting to look like an engine again. I am planning on taking it to the dragstrip if it gets done by the weekend and weather permitting. I will keep putting updates. :suitdance

when I ordered the kit, I declined the ceramic coating cuz I didn't know it made that much difference

a turbo blanket as well would be a wise investment...I recommend both, before your car is delievered.

From the research I've done, it's not necessary for this application. All it'll really do is hurt compressor efficiency a bit.

Nice setup. What brand of turbo is that? What numbers can that turbo push?

A-spec 500r do a little search and you will find a lot of stuff on it

Well, it seems like Banzai Racing is trying really hard to get this done by tomarrow, and I have to say it looks awesome. I can't even believe it is my car. Here are some pics.

I hope so. Whatever it is though, it will feel very fast to me.

You're going to love it and your car will rip when it's done. :D

Was the 500R kit supposed to have an O2 bung in the down pipe or do you have to specify you want one when ordering?

I think they just forgot to put it in.
