Nice!!!!!!! Bummer you have to wait for crap to break in :D

Now hurry up and post some impressions, videos, etc to motivate me to do my install! I see a MAF... no Microtech yet?

definately. Kinda disappointed that the paint didn't last on the manifold :(. It feels really good on the road. I haven't really pushed it hard yet. Need to let it break in all the way. I'm guessing one full tank of gas (350mi) should do it. I'd like to get it dynoed just to see what it's doing with the stock MSP ECU.
 
well one thing is for sure...it will definitely be faster than before... (glare)

Yuh think? Even tho, I was faster than him today, what with the break in and all. I have a feeling next time, I won't be so lucky.

K guys now that you have one turbo install done you better be pros.. come up here and see how quickly you can get mine done :D

I feel like I'm going to have to buy a junker just to have some way to get to school/work while I work on the install. Doing a turbo install by yourself must definitely be FTL :P

Did you try using brake caliper paint?
