A few more turbo install pics

[azian6er]

how hard to install an intank fuel pump as opposed to inline? you prolly have dumped the clutch a lot...

intake pump is easy. Pull up the back seat, unscrew 4 phillips, pull cover off, then pull off fuel lines (2) and then unscrew lik 9-10 more phillips to pull pump assembly out of tank. The rest is pretty much self-explanatory. Im sure your pump will have instructions.

if you can put in a turbo kit than you should be fine with the pump.

Spray pb blaster on those screws though, they strip quite easily.

I always end up telling people what I would change about their car as if it were my own. Your car looks much better than before & obviously you get the huge performance increase to go with it. Anyway, these are just my suggestions which I believe would complete your look:

paint the hood latch black so that you don't see it through the grille
get smoked fog overlays from BlueBatmobile
no one ever listens to this one, but I think it would look bad ass if you painted your FMIC black (I guess you use radiator paint?) or at least just the endtanks & clamps
either paint the lower grille supports black & put that b**** back in (to complete the stealth look) or just cut the supports out completely to show off the FMIC

Regardless of what you think of my ideas, it's your car & easily one of the hottest (& probably soon to be fastest) cars on this site. (thumb)

thanks for all the good advice...right now im going to forget the hood latch advice because im prolly gonna cut up my lower grille to make a back for the upper grille...as for painting the FMIC i thought i would like the stealth look as well, but once i put on the turbo, and spent about 20 hours and a lot of arguments with the wife - i want to show it off lol...but i need to paint the clamps at least...as for the fog light overlays, that sounds not too bad of an idea, but i never stuck with those threads...how much does he charge for those?

im thinking about cutting out the grille supports and dremmelling them down to the bumper, then taping off around them and using paintscratch.com paint and clear coat to get them not perfect, but not noticable either...otherwise id have to pay for a full bumper repaint.

Not the exact ideas I had, but I agree with them all. I can't wait to see your car when you're done.
