Default PROGRESS Is Being Made!!!

Well, so far this week we've made it from this:
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3472/somethings_missing.jpg">

To this:
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3472/no_longer_missing.jpg">

Another View:

A view from the exhaust side with the custom header replacing the OE manifold, turbo, &amp; cat:

Top view showing header &amp; Ignition Solutions coil packs:
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3472/top-header__coil_packs.jpg">

The SC is off the engine now so that we can re-fabricate the bracket. In a small oversight in the original set-up the fabricator misjudged the space available &amp; the edge of the bracket interfered with the headlamp housing (necessitating modifying the housing temporarily). This being unacceptable, &amp; the fact that a new headlight is being installed when the car is in the body shop next week, gave the opportunity to correct the bracket shape to fit. (There ain't much room in there!!!)
So the saga continues......

How much boost are you planning to run in the SC?

Default Undetermined at this time. After engine break-in period..........

We are going to experiment with different pulleys when we can get it on the dyno. Ultimate decision will be made then.
