More mock up pipe mock fitting and wiring tonight.

It's amazing how much it takes to get a car properly boosted. It seems to never stop.

That's for two pigtail ends. Ali`s pic is for tapping off an existing wire without cutting it.

FMIC pipe routing looks very similar to how I had mine with that pipe running all the way behind the FMIC. It's a lot of piping, and the bend to line it up to the FMIC was really tight/not ideal, but it worked great in the end.

SG - it is getting there !!!!

I wonder how much you have spent so far , lol ! A lot of people don't realize that the small things will nickle and dime you when building a car for speed and power and yet no one is willing to pay a car that had been built for what you have put into it.

Gerrb,
So far:
$3500 for car (a steal at 68K)
$4-5000 for maintenance, suspension, upgrades, repairs
$9-10,000 for boost (mostly parts, some labor) My builder really took care of me as the parts are pricy.

I'll never get my money back except from insurance. I built it to keep until I kill it dead, lol
