theres the block off plates, nothing really special there. I got back into the car and starting figuring out the mid mount, looks like im going to be moving the radiator back a good 2 inches or so and the intercooler will be right on it.

got the mid mount done today well the stuff I could do myself, Ill be bringing the intercooler and turbo outlet to my buddy to get 90 degree pipes welded onto them.

Started on the fuel pump wiring and then I got kinda tired. Pics can speak for them self.

^^^ the quest for amazing throttle response!

honestly though for safety, I will be making a crash bar on the front of the car eventually but since the car is going to be used primary for drifting I wanted it back into a place where it wont have any issues with things hitting it. back behind the structure is a great place for it to be.

a little bit of progress. It turns out my plan for fuel is not going to work as planned because of the y'S are to large and will be in the way so what im going to do is take a -8 junction and get it welded into the bottom of the tank where the OEM one was at. should allow for a much cleaner setup I think.

few more pics, Intercooler setup is finished with the new end tanks welded on.

Tax return came and went out already. Im taking my time on this just doing small little things as I go. Im truthfully in no rush to get it finished.

This thread is awesome, I like how your not rushing with anything get all the small details done to it so it actually runs without any problems, as some people just go fast and do a butcher job.
