I don't have many pics. I just realized I didn't take a finished pic of the engine bay. I never got around to doing the exterior like dropping it, rims, etc. I was more about getting the turbo running right. The whole kit was bought in parts and pieced together from scratch. I originally bought a partial kit from someone (IC pipe, manifold, and turbo) but re-did everything. Here's what it's got:
t3/t04b .48 trim hot, 60 trim cold
2.5" Intercooler piping
Bigger intercooler than I need
SSQ knock-off BOV
Tial 38mm wastegate, 4 PSI spring
Home-brew manual boost controller
2.5" downpipe to 3" flexpipe, 3" high-flow cat, 3" x 30" resonator, 3" under the gas tank (heat shield put on tank) to an Apexi N1 muffler
Megasquirt 1, v3.0 running fuel only for now
AEM wideband
ACT 6 puck, unsprung clutch
Currently running it at 8 PSI and I get zero traction in 1st and 2nd gear.

For those interested in a video, here's how the exhaust sounds:

And here's a run at not quite full throttle at 4 PSI:

I really wish I could finish it. Maybe I still will. But no one will buy the car whole.
