My turbo build so far

well that was a long morning. All in all took about 5 hours start to finish. crazy how much some red paint transforms the engine bay.

Update...

-Boost controller is all plumbed.
-Fuel system completely done (new 450s and fic1200s in)
-1" lines to trunk tank have made their final connections in the trunk

Waiting on the last few amazon deliveries for misc vacuum hose parts to get the BOV in.

Waiting on power steering tank, so then i can get the down pipe in, intercooler pipes in, and top off all fluids so i can start her up!

More progress!! coming down to the little things. Had to drill out the spindles for the Maximum motorsports bumpsteer that uses the 5/8"bolt. Alittle sketchy but its all done. I was able to trim the bumper for the blow off valve to fit, get the brakes on, All vac and boost lines are officially done!

well 2 steps forward 1 step back kind of progress so far.

got the down pipe in but when i made it i used factory worn out motor mounts, now i jave poly mounts so it didnt fit the bumper, also was hitting the lower coolant hose, either way my lack of patients had me mount it and try to bend it into place. well that cause the upper 90 to collapse so i get to remake the top half of the down pipe. also had to beat the shit out of the pipe to clear the lower hose.

Power steering all filled, brakes bled, coolant and oil today, hopefully finish the down pipe tonight so i can wrap it and mount it doe the last time.

waiting on my tune for start up but probably about 95% complete now. dying to hear it run.

Good stuff!

Minor update,

Got the car running with a base tune. Then found a hole in the radiator.

Replaced the radiator with a factory replacement mishimotor to then fine that my down pipe barely fit.

Also got my SCG-1 hooked up to find it doesnt read af and the seller is being a pile of dicks so i had to order a new scg1 which will be here wednesday.

All in all another day in the life of cars.

Well, that's a wrap...

I'm going to get an alignment tomorrow then drive a couple weeks to shake the car out before the dyno.

Well see if I'm able to drive around with the car this low hahaha.

Car is running on e85. I will tune for wastegate spring pressure (no boost control) which should be about 15.5psi. I will have a second tune on e85 that's around 20-25 psi. depending on the car is running.

Some quick daytime shots after a wash.

Alignment had to be scheduled for next week.

Took her out for a first drive and she ran great!

Very nicely done! Very good attention to detail.
Can’t wait to see how she does on the dyno/track!

Thank you sir! Greatly appreciated, its been a long process and I've learned a lot. Cant wait to see what waste gate pressure (15.5psi) makes for HP. High boost will be 20-25psi range depending on how everything is going.

Been putting some miles on her before alignment and dyno.

So far its all held up amazing. Only issue that popped up was an exhaust leak on passenger side that ill look into this weekend, hopefully easy fix lol.
