YAY its done!

She runs so well now. The only problem is I can't get past 10 lbs of boost... I think its because I hooked up my boost controller to the throttle body instead of the compressor outlet pipe. I am going to fix that and boost away.

But even at 10lbs of boost it pulls so much harder than my T25 did at 13 lbs of boost. It just keeps going and going.

In 1st gear, I punch it and it feels like its on a rocket sled... I can only imagin what it would feel like on 18 psi... hehehehe

nope.. I did not have any installation problem what so ever. I still can't understand why people buy TAKA lines.... wtf.

I haven't hooked up wideband or taken it to dyno yet.. but I think I will borrow my friends Innovate and see what my AF is.

rust is a good point...

Im not too worried if it rusts or not.. If i see a sign of rust I'll just replace it.. cost me 1.89 haha

Stainless steel or aluminum would be better choice but I did not find things like that anywhere...

I got it when I was in HS (2003)... I got it from some website. Im sure they are out of business now hahaha.

Anyhow, the kit didnt fit that well... some modifications had to be done by the body shop to fit the sideskirts... Im sure same thing will apply to any imitation sideskirts.

I saw few on ebay.
