Finally pulled the car out of the garage last weekend after i finished all the repairs/mods i've done this winter. Here's what i did:

New Bambev turbo cartridge
Ported my E6
added a Forge BOV
4 New Khumo 711 235/45/17 on new 00 GT 5 spoke wheels
Took the interior apart and steam cleaned everything
Meguiars 3 step detailing, only i used the new Meguiars NXT wax instead of the 3rd step wax.

The sticker is a turboford.org sticker, and i haven't found locking lug nuts that fit inside of the wheel center caps yet.

This picture sucks

so does this one

Wheelgap at least the tires don't rub

And the interior

The car is a lot more fun to drive now, and getting to be pretty fast. The Khumo's also grip very well.

Any questions/comments?

It's not original. It's called a Ford Dark Tourmaline.

Just go to lowe's or some other hardware store and pick up some stainless 8x1.25 bolts. The whole turbo uses that same size.
