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.

It's got a cracked windshield, which on that car because it wraps around the A-pillar costs $500. I paid $500 for the car. lol I just haven't had the time or the money lately for anything for my cars. It's been months since I've been on any forum let alone work on the cars.

I never got the chance to get it on the dyno. There are some local JDM guys here who are itching to see it too. The average the other guys get at 8 PSI is ~220 at the wheels.

For now it sits in my driveway with a dead battery.
