Just FYI, Derek in TX has this exact same turbo kit, but with a FMIC. He just pulled 427rwhp and 496rwtq at 20psi of boost.

A pic of the fjo and blitz ebc in the ashtray. Not the best location, since it is not in the line of sight. But I wanted to keep the clean look of the interior.

It took a lot of dremeling to get these two items to fit together.

Next task, make the glovebox more presentable, it looks like a tangled web of wires:

Thanks.

All was done by me in the driveway(have to clean my garage). The only thing I had done at a shop was to drill the oil pan, I had access to a lift at my brothers shop.

We used motorheaddown's technique, just drill thru without dropping the pan.

Aliga,
Awesome fjo install!! I've been struggling on where to put the display. I thought about one of the vents above the center console, but I think you just help me make my decision. Did you have to cut any length off of the display unit at all? how difficult was installing that fjo there?

Thanks,
Chris

You dont have to touch the display, but you will need to cut a opening in the ashtray(on the bottom side) so the fjo can slide thru. You will understand once you put the fjo in there.

The install is not difficult, i suggest using a dremel if you have one to cut away the plastic. I just bought this dremel a few months ago, it is one handy tool!
