Nice, I just went with a 32x12x4 ebay intercooler and a 3" piping kit that im going to cut up and weld to make fit

Long Overdue Update/stages i went through for the swap

Heres a pic after i took the old motor/trans out and brought everything i had at home to the shop to finish the prep for the motor and trans. i threw all the boxes in the engine bay not to take up any more space at the shop while i finished up the motor.


Motor and trans and going into the car


Motor and trans in the car


Put the stock twins and harness in there, wired up the boost controller, mounted the intercooler


Ran the intercooler piping on the twins side and put the intake side together


And thats where im at now, such a painfully slow process due to school and work but looks like just one more weekend and she'll be running.

UH OHHHH.... Is that a BW I see????

The wheels are little wide, but the new tuck and tire size should do the trick.. What size is on there now?
