Okay, NOT turbo related, but somehow it relates because of my KA-T :P

I finally ordered my Katzkin leather interior; should be here next Wednesday if I'm lucky. I ended up doing dark graphite bolsters with pearl white centers to match the exterior, and pearl door inserts ... call it a Christmas present from the little lady ... very happy.

As for the latest on the turbo, I now have 266 miles on the engine and waiting for 1000 before dyno tuning for high boost. It's tuned for 10lbs right now and God knows I can't keep it out of boost :) I installed the GReddy oil catch tank, stainless braided teflon oil pressure line (leading to the gauge), and did some more clean up under the hood (all of which is not reflected in the pic below).

Miles are coming slow because I drive the Saturn to work daily ... planning a road trip soon though!

Checkered-Member: Thanks dude. It actually looks cleaner now; I'll get a picture up later. You should see my friend's RB25 swap ... talk about clean and shiney! I'll get a pic maybe tomorrow.

Rick: Free web space?? Okay, email me details at [email protected]

J-Z: Well, my car IS white! :P Orlando ... hmmm ... we are planning to go to Disney, but that's in April. Truly, hopefully I can have the miles up by then and the car completely dialed in for high boost. But if I get bored in the near future, do you open your presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morn????? ;)

Mr1dr: Yeah, that's the pun though. I have a couple friends that are gay. I don't joke about one's sexual preferences as long as it doesn't affect me. Just thought the subject title was funny for this post ... I used to call Rob Halford from Judas Priest "leather boy"; still do actually. ;)

574-240sx: No, I'll be doing the install myself.

J-Z: Yes, I know white interiors are a ****** to keep up, but the white will be minimal in my car, plus I'm usually the only one in the car since the wife won't step near the little beast. :D

I don't either, but you know, just saying, I'm kinda picturing you as Mr. Slave from South Park right now, damn Mr Slave...

Ever hear the song Hellbent for Leather?
