Default Louisiana NA-T build!

Well guys... It's been a while since I've been boosted. Sold my SR'd S13 coupe about 2 1/2 years ago to build up an SC, but living in Orlando on a Pro Wakeskater salary, My money flow has been limited.

I recently moved back to Louisiana to actually get a real job (sort of), and start saving for my build.

I'm a part time Bartender now, work about 3 days a week. Make next to nothing, but i save every penny I get and spend it on my car.

Anyway, I wanted to go with the XSpower kit because of the price, But I wanted reliability, so i decided to piece togeather my own kit using name brand parts. The only drawback is that it will take 3 times as long and cost 3 times the money, but I wanted to do it right the first time.

I ordered the XSpower manifold/downpipe etc. Had to take a dremel to the inside and clean it up a lot.

As for the Turbo, It's a Precision Billet 6262. It's Dual ball bearing and has a .68 A/r This thing is going to SPOOL!!!! Got it from boost logic, As well as The boost logic NA-T lines, Which are SICK!!! Had to get water lines from them too since it is water AND oil cooled.

Went with the flat black Limited edition HKS SSQV, A Tial 44mm Wastegate (.6bar), and a MAP-ECU. (which is in the mail, on the way)

All i need now is IC and piping, a wideband and boost guage.

On to the pictures! I will be uploading Throughout my build!

Yes, when i ordered my turbo from boost logic, they asked me if i wanted to order lines with the turbo while I'm at it. I've heard the boost logic lines were they very best you can get so i went ahead and got them. They are amazing.

Also The water lines are sick too.

I'm probably going to go with an intercooler and piping from Driftmotion, If i had the money i'd defiantly get the boostlogic NA-T pipping kit. But money is tight.

As for the exterior of my car, this is my latest pic, before selling my work's to another member on this site to fund my turbo build. It's on Tein Flex coilovers.
