I just got my car back with a new rebuilt motor in and everything seems to be running fine. now im looking at the BD stage 1. I have a Rms13 and will the BD st. 1 just bolt right up and the intercooler piping fit just right?

The FMIC will bolt right up to the front of the car. Have to cut an angle on the bracket holding the IC. I got pics of that. The cold side IC piping needs no modifications the Hot side I had to cut one of the pipes and add a extra hose. The pignose needs a little modification to fit back on but it is no big deal. Also have to buy a mandrel bend 2 1/2 pipe to connect to the turbo for the air inlet pipe. I will take a pic of it tomorrow. I would highly recommend replacing the stock fuel pump and going with the walbro 255 and a mechanical fuel gauge. The rest of the stuff bolts right on with no problems.

Well I decided to use the 4 gauge wire that I was using for the Amp that was all ready mounted in the trunk. Were that battery was located I used a distribution block. I bought that at a car stereo shop. 1 4guage connection to the battery and 2 connections one going to the starter and 2 other connections that were smaller going somewhere. Bought plastic battery box from Wallmart for 8 bucks. Located the battery in the trunk on the drivers side. Used 4 screws and washers to hold the battery box down. Then bought a cheap plastic battery bolt down kit from autozone.

I took some pics a last year. I will try to find them and post them maybe today.
