When you're ready, maybe you can explain the decision to use a y-pipe vs. going true dual. Very interested.

Okay i'm officially starting to envy you and I'm facing the reality that I miss being boosted.

Looks great Anis, can't wait to see when it's finished.

Pics of the nightmare assembled minus the car lol









Car still has a/c and powestearing. If there are any questions as to why something is the way it is I can simply state now that there is no other way to do it retaining the creature comforts, put the turbo bling in the engine bay, and still lay out completely lol. I have no fear of anyone every replicating this kit for a similar car because even with the tools and knowledge it is near impossible lol!
