I really did think about buying your stuff. But i don't think I'll have the extra cash this year. I'm thinking about doing all the suspension stuff next winter.

Got a new shiny part today.

A 3" Pmass Protube and a 31x12x3 Intercooler are in the mail.

hope that helps

I meant the exhaust side of the head. BTW, a turbo doesn't use "exhaust flow" to spool the turbo. It uses thermal expansion.

I wasn't sure if this one was worth the extra cash over Tial's popular 50mm BOV, but after some reading, this Q series seems to be the stuff

.

I also had a question for you. Sending PM now.

**wick** · 02-01-2010, 10:56 PM

I am heading in the garage to work on mine. Just text me...(412)400-7100

**cwh19** · 02-02-2010, 01:24 PM

Intercooler and piping kit!

**cwh19** · 02-17-2010, 03:39 AM

I know have everything bought that I need. The heads and intake should be coming back from the shop this week. Then hopefully back together it will soon go! We got the bumper cover off today and removed some stuff to make room for the sexy new intercooler.

Don't forget you need a pink spring for that bov. Tial will exchange it for you for free. Otherwise its 35 dollars.

**vitaleffects626** · 02-17-2010, 10:53 AM

Its all bout the sound of the bov

Yeah. Or you can email them and they will reply the next day. They are closed now.

Got the headers and the heads on. I can't wait to get this thing back together. I just keep finding mroe things to spend money on

.

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 02-26-2010, 04:44 AM

Its getting their and coming along too!

**cwh19** · 03-17-2010, 05:26 PM

Its almost done. Just need to get a shorter crank belt and put on the tps sensor. I bought a generic male/female harness and I'm going to splice the wires together. Then its off to get the side exhuast put on, a manual valvebody put on and tuned.

Its open headers right now so you can't even hear the blower or BOV.

A shot of the before and then the now.

**cam303** · 03-17-2010, 05:48 PM

Do you have a raised hood? You might have a problem closing it if not.

Yea sir I do. I bought a 3 inch cowl and it barely clears.

**Hawkeye** · 03-17-2010, 10:14 PM

**TooFast98Cobra** · 03-18-2010, 01:01 PM

No I didn't. I wish I knew how to weld but that'll come sooner or later. i got a piping kit with the intercooler and it worked out really well.

Thanks guys.
