On Campus:
JoeP ProZ MBC installed @ 8psi, need to mount in a better location.
Tried to get one of HIDS, but w/ my iphone the quality is horrible, so I black and white'd it out.

sleeeeeeeeeeper
Great job! car looks really clean, im kinda shooting for a similar setup so I got a couple of questions for you.
1. Is it essential to replace the radiator fans to make room for the turbo?
2. Is the oil sandwich plate where you take the oil feed for your turbo from?
3. What path did u use for your coolant routing? pics would be helpful..
4. I have a stock MSP IC, I was thinking about retrofitting it as an fmic with e-bay piping... think this is possible?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I am in on the 3" downpipe GB, so I hope that gets moving soon as it would be a nice addition. I have the MBC on my car and at the moment trying to get it set between 8 and 10 psi so I can get a tune. I also bought a Belkin cable and seem to be having problems with loading the software. I keep receiving an error and then tried my g/f's newer comp and it's doing the same thing. I'm not that retarded, I know how to load software to a computer so I'm not sure what is up.
and yes sleeper like! i thought about instead of getting aftermarket rims just getting Sean22306 FD wheels and painting them the stock color. I would like those along with spacers for an aggresive stance.
I had to. I did not plan on it, but once I got the turbo, manifold, exhaust, and piping in there was no room to fit piping and fan in there together. So for my setup, yes it was necessary. From what I have noticed most who have gone turbo, buy fans. If you do there are good deals on ebay such as 2 for $50.
Yes. The line runs from the oil sandwich plate to the turbo.
I will try to find some pics of my setup, and some of other setups that I used to get an idea how the lines run.
Do you have a MSP radiator? If not you will not be able to use the your MSP IC. Personally I would just get a FMIC with the right endtanks to make it easier to route piping. I don't think it will be an easy task to use the MSP SMIC as a FMIC.

Do yourself a favor and sell that IC. The stock MSP IC sucks really. Get yourself a good core and piping. Contact Wagonbacker9 for instructions on how to make your own FMIC for quite cheap.

Here you go:

I didn't have time to circle vents in pic, but look at the valve cover and their the chrome pieces. One going off to the right connected to breather filter, and the one in the center off the PCV valve. I'll circle them in red when I get back from class! This is JNaoto's engine bay and only one I had saved with vents installed.

Holding 9psi strongly. Need to find driver for my belkin cable and get a vid @ 9psi to record afr's.
Ya... the fans got me thinking that would be a good idea... plus maybe ill get a decent FMIC in the meantime too...
