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.

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?

Why is the scoop off to the side?

Its an original SVO hood thats why :) Don't confuse it with the aftermarket SVO hoods that is centered and usualy has a cowl also.


By the way that car don't looks so well , you better let me have it so I can drive it around a make sure its ok for ya to be driving around in :D
 
you didnt happen to break any bolts dis-assembling your turbo did you? And if you did.. where did you get new ones? I have about 4 broken housing bolts and i want to get a bamabeve cartridge but dont know where to get some new freakin bolts! Any ideas? Also how hard was putting that together?

Some of them were REALLY stuck good, but i managed to get them all out without breaking them.

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.
