it's a 2.5" downpipe. lol.

note to you guys, NEVER do a custom setup for a turbo..it sucks having to fab up all the ******* parts, like, for the intercooler and what not...DOWNPIPE/EXHAUST for that matter.

looks good man, glad your up and running finally. you got some detailing to do when it gets a little warmer.
yeah. actually, when it gets out of paint..(early april) I'll be doing the detailing and what not. we'll see how that all goes. i'm excited to say the least.
 
sounds good, i will call some people and see if they want to do an all over, and maybe you could bring it down and help me do my p5 bumper conversion by mid march. will have another meeting.

You need something on there painted Spicy Orange and than I believe you will have all the colors of the MSP on one car. It's like a crayon box blew up. It's great

Noice. Let me know when your going to take it out.
 
Lookin better and better man!! Honestly, if you asked me 6 months ago if I thought we would see this day and all the progress considering what it was to now....I woulda said no way! Good job man!

I'm trying to understand your turbo set up though...I don't see an intercooler, I've heard of this but I'm confused. Can you tell me quick ..quick how it works.
