    Now for the TURBO :)
    It's a Forced Performance 18g w/ the 7cm housing.
    Here it is posing for the awesome cell phone turbo comparison pic:

    To install the new "modded injectors" (tested @ ~630cc) we needed to get those **** GBODs off. Here they are after we showed them who was in charge of this install:

    TXS TMIC V.2 with some temp probes will be trying to cool all that sweet sweet boost.

    And for the none believers... It fit w/out any modification...

    Turns out the banjo bolt for the oil return line to the head wasn't as tight as it needed to be. After about an hour or so we got her running leak free.

    I haven't had a ride in it yet. Hopefully later today.. More pics to follow I'm sure.

    Thanks to Russ for getting this awesome turbo and letting me watch/document the install. Also, Thanks to Troy who when he wasn't on the phone making multi-billion dollar realty deals he was turning a wrench.

    We took it for a drive tonight...

    Had some issues first with fuel cut being at 20psi. After we adjusted that we had some problems with... Traction ;)

    Neef, go into the olf parameters and bump up the boost/fuel cut. If you are running 20 psi, you will hit the fuel cut and it feels like you cut the throttle and slammed on the brakes at the same time. Once you get past eh fuel cut it is all :D.

    Thanks to Steve and Troy for helping out, now I just need to do a little clean up, and start building my maps.

    I think about 35-3700 or so. It happens so fast, and I haven't had a chance to build any maps for it yet. I was busy all day yesterday, so I didn't even get to look at it. Hopefully this wee I will have some more time to start the tunning.

    Man Russ, that's sweet! Is that the same TMIC? Did you get that kink in the hose between it and the throttle body fixed then? Gotta see it!:p

    The oil line came with the turbo. Fp sells the line and both of the turbo gaskets as a kit. I don't even remember what they charge for it.
    The ic does fit a little bit better, but I have some tweaking to do on the brakets. I had to bend the driver side up a bit, and it was a little to much.

    I still haven't touched the car since last weekend. I will be out of town all this weekend, so I won't be able to start working n it till next week. Hopefully I will have it up and running with a half-assed map next weekend so I can start doing some dial in tuning.
