Remember to double clutch, like you should.

Did you take your sub box out when you went to the strip?

I looked at your garage pics, but i'd really like to see some shots from underneath the front bumper looking up. I'm interested to see the piping and how you've got it set up. I know the basics of turbocharging/intercooling etc, just wanted to see your setup and where you have the intake.

I left everything inside the car, even some oil and other fluids bottles lol, wouldnt have made that much difference.

I can snap some pics this weekend to show you.

Ok i tried taking good pictures but without the car on jackstands its a little hard it being like 5 inches off the ground i can barely get my camera under it lol but you should get the idea.

From the turbo i have the wastegate in a "boostgate" setup, meaning when it opens it's letting out pressurised air from the turbo's charge piping:




Then it goes around the inner fender like this:




To the intercooler, i fabricated some brackets i welded to the reinforcement bumper to mount it:




Then around the other side through the factory hole where the stock air box used to be and into the throttle body:




From the top of the engine bay:




And no i dont have an intake or filter connected to the intake of the turbo for the moment, space is too limited i can't fit anything until i figure out something. I also only have 1 cooling fan so on very hot days the coolant overheats when stationary for a bit, so im thinking of a small multipass radiator and that should free up some room to fab up a proper intake for the turbo.

Very nice.

Use two pieces of metal screen door as mesh and a hose clamp for a filter. You'll be good.

Thank you for the pics and your time. I get the gist of what's going on under there now.
