dang thats a huge IC!!!! awesome!!!
are you planning any upgrades to the internals?
 
That is some nice looking s***. At first the turbo didn't look all that huge until you showed the coke bottle haha. I like that manifold a lot. Mega stealth.
 
i can't help but think that anyone who puts this much power into a car might start out with a slightly better platform than a FWD

either way... impressive numbers being put down w/out blowing up will make for a car that will undeniably surprise the s*** out of anyone with a much more expensive ride that's expected to be faster than any old hatchback :)
 
Thanks guys for all the compliments!


daaang sick setup! cant wait to see some numbers! O and are you selling the white nextmod lip and if so how much?

It's actually silver. It needs a bit of fiberglass work, it's got a small crack on the underside. I'm thinking about selling it, I'm not sure though. If I do, I will be fixing it up before I sell it. I just don't know if I want to put it on my car, I will probably rip it off way too fast.

how much for the old DP?

I've got a local who is interested in it, if the sale falls through I will post it up for sale. I'm thinking $525 shipped, it is the catted version and only has 10,000 miles on it.

do you plan on building your motor?

For now, no. I'm running very low boost (10-12psi) on it and holding on to my lucky rabbits foot very tight. That much boost will yield a bit more power than the 18psi I'm running on the stock turbo. I plan to build the motor later down the road.

Thanks man. For how much I paid for the new setup, and being able to sell all of my other parts (fmic, dp, intake, inlet, manifold, turbo) I break out even. I love this car though man, I'm balls deep in it now.
 
can't wait to see some numbers! i gotta agree with charlesss, those gold rotas were the s*** and you need to rock them again
 
haha, nice, yeah, you'd better pray to allah that she doesn't get temperamental on you. But this should be impressive, and Im anxious to see what kind of power you'll be putting down. Once its on, we need some speedo pull videos!! Plan on going with wider front tires?...haha
 
Looks Good Mad..hope the motor holds up long enough until you get it built..thats if you can keep your foot out of it..LOL!!!(drive2)
 
Thanks fellas. New wheels will come this summer when I have more time to work and save up some money again. For now, I'm happy with the stock wheels. Once I get everything back together I've got a lip and stuff to install. I got in an accident so the car's been ****** up for a while but it's finally fixed so I want to do some appearance stuff to it when I finish the turbo work.

Everything is almost done. Downpipe is in, turbo is resting on the axle, and the manifold is bolted up to the head. Now I just need another pair of hands to hold the turbo up while i bolt it to the manifold. The turbo weighs ~20 lbs. and I no haz the muscle to hold it while i turn a wrench. After that I'm all done!
