Re-mounted my front mount, took out the lower grill... going to try to re-route the hotside piping to the side of the radiator instead of under the washer fluid res.

I thought you couldnt really run a meth kit without getting a tune, i thought i heard it will make the car run richer.

Build looks good dude, and I notice you kept the fog lights in with your FMIC. Might I ask, did you have to modify anything to make it fit well? I'm not very pleased with the fitment of my FMIC and the fog lights are mainly what is preventing it. But i'm not taking them out cause they look so damn good! lol.

its not really recomended because it can run rich, but it wouldnt really hurt if your turning the boost up a little. the power to mine is unhooked untill i tune it.
thanks
um... 28x7x2.5
thanks man. um, i just kept taking the hotside piping off and on and trimming it untill it fit right i didnt hack the fog light buckets or anything like that, i can take some pictures tonight when i get home and load them up if you would like. i planned on taking off the bumper anyways to do a boost leak test.

Pictures would be much appreciated. I have thought about trimming the hotpipe a little bit as well cause I hacked up the fog buckets a little already and still doesn't fit

did you already replace your water pump? if not, i have a faster was of replacing it without removing the timing belt and resetting the timing and all.
you can take a large ziptie and pull the belt together below the cam gears just enough where it pulls the belt off the idler pulley so you can remove the idler pulley then unbolt the water pump and then install the new one. saves alot of time and hassle

The meth was good when I was boosting correctly, I have it un hooked for now until I get everything running correctly. It seemed to make the car run alot smoother in wot. Hopefully after I replace the wga tomorrow it will work right and I can turn up the boost a little and hook the meth back up.
