We Got Pics!!!

Kirby was the camera man. He will be posting soon. I think we should start new thread with this.
Robert was the "wheel man" when we were going through the "quick learn" process for the tranny and computer(oh wait...Kirby got first rubber when they changed positions and got into the flat-out acceleration trials though). I'll bet Robert showed his wife what it could do a couple time on the way home though! Oh, and they liked the Blow-off-valve too....ppshhhhhh!

Robert, just in case you need them I have saved the old bolts from the BOV install. At some point you may want to remove the kit and will need these I think. How is it running?

OK, thanks Terry.

It's running great, was going to have an offline smog check done on Wed. but didn't have the time to go.

Went to a shop yesterday to have them look at the exhaust system and see if he could do a 3" Turbo back. He suggested that I go 3" cat back which he could easily do, said our turbo is small enough that it probably wouldn't make too much of a difference if I didn't go 3" all the way.

What do you think?

That 3" downtube and 3"cat package from neonparts.com is awesom if you are really looking to do something for yourself.
Remember the article that circulated earlier on turbo function: The first few inches of exhaust are the most critical, and that cat has got to be 2" or less(real restrictive).
I am seriously considering the swap out as my next upgrade.
Stage II seems to be strongly suggesting 3" turbo back also.
The big drawback is:
Exhaust(Cat Back)- $300 or more.
Cat & Downpipe- $350.

The real question is:
How much can you spend without having to sleep in the car?
