a little update on what i've been up to..........

[mootang]

Well it has begun first off i will recap what has been done so far to make it fit; the ABS module has been moved under the frame to make way for the cold pipe coming off of the turbo, the sway bar had to be removed because the drivers header was hitting it, the starter wire and clutch cable have been rerouted so they are no longer hitting the drivers side header, and i bent the power steering line away from the drivers header as well. So far the fit seems pretty good except for the clearance issues which aren't to big of a deal. I would have liked to keep the sway bar, and i may look into spacing it down to get it to fit but I'll see how it handles first.

here are some current progress pics and i'm hoping to have most of the kit installed by the end of this upcoming weekend.

Are you going to keep the TFS Stage 1? I've never seen it used in a turbo setup before. Will be interested to see the dyno! Keep it up brotha.

yes, i'm keeping the stage 1 cam. I have seen it in a turbo setup and i think it will be just fine. I don't think i'll be getting a dyno anytime soon. probably just tune it on the street and run it down the track a few times. I'm saving for a viper spec t56 right now so once i have that the engine will be my only week point to worry about. hopefully the engine will hold together till i make it back to the states.

I have the shortest one i could find, about 3" long but i'll still have to do a little cutting and loose my hood support rod. I'm planning on putting one of those strut kits on.
