Default she lives... yes!

it took me 2 weeks to bolt the turbo, make downturn pipe, downpipe, FMIC with all new plumbing. plus all the enormous expense of littles bits, spring clamps, silicone, fittings, hoses, intake porting, etc, etc... 10 hours a day straight. (the project planing/research and gathering parts took over 1 year though consistantly after work)

anyway, before i put the front axle and other stuffs back on, i wanted to check for leaks for the coolant, or the oil (since i made up the adaptor plates and cut out the gaskets) she didn't want to start and batt was flat. but after few turns, she started and that was just sex.

after few min i had to turn it off, because she has no cat, or any sort of exhaust, and it doesnt have any turbo intake pipes (i could see the turbo spin). oh and the garage was getting filled with poison gas (she runs 50% richer without the MAF).

now after i get my part end of next week (silicone elbows and reducers) i can finish up the turbo intake, plug MAF and go for a quick spin (doubt i will have time to do exhaust) oh boy i can't wait!!!! its been six months since i last drove her.

i just had to release my excitment somewhere..
(i will post pics end of next week or so...)
