Put my fmic on and ran into some clearance problems. There is hardly any space to play around with....turned it on for the first time and blew a coupler at boost, tightened all clamps and started it up again and let it sit for a few mins and gave it a few revs. still need to put front bumper back on and maybe get some rubber foam to put on some places that may hit. Will update tomorrw with pics of it installed properly. didnt finish up because i was running late for dinner with the g/f and mom. oh and replaced the stock shifter weight for a shiney new cobb one. its purty

the wrinkle is looking very nice.
I have forgotten what brand of FMIC did you purchase ?
i might need some" how to" advice in time when i decide to install mine.

Today i ordered the Whiteline adj. front sway links to match up with the coilovers i finally have installed.
Since i cant find any one fabbing control arms anymore i might just upgrade to Whitelines bushing sets for now.
From Alan and JP at Edge. One of our beloved sponsors. Gave me a break and have already answered a bunch of questions for me.

Thats alot of damage. Root cause ?
You know why i ask these things brother. I also am on the road one cannot turn back from.

21.5 lbs on stock k04 tune was past the envelope at the track and things broke. Although the block stayed together and the head is fine. But i got a lot to learn and all the help i can get is appreciated before i build the next motor.

Define the weaknesses and address them.
PM if you please of course for the gorey details : (
learning curves can be bitches
