Finally got around to installing a set of extreme motorsports upper and lower IC pipes and Greddy type-s bov,new spark plugs and wires, and fabbed up a bracket to keep my hard intake pipe in place. Had to mangle the recirc tube a bit but all was good in the end. Definite improvement on the butt dyno, car has a meaner sound too.
Now i just need to do a boost leak test and hunt down any leaks that might be present. Hopefully i can bust that out after work today and then log a few pulls on my favorite local straightaway.
IF this %$#%$# rain MD has had for the last week ever goes away i'll wash her up and get some new pics too.
Next on the mod agenda is a tubular 02 housing, downpipe, and 3" exhaust.
Anyone else just getting around to projects you've been slackin on?

when you do your boost leak testing, be sure to start at the tb elbow and test, then test with your uicp on, then put your ic on and test and on and on, its hard testing from the turbo first and trying to find every single leak at once.

Ugh...I need to stop being a lazy ass...or just have more time to work on my car. I have a set of FP2's to install, a WBO2, some gauges, strut bar, a brand new set of slipstreams (need tires), an entire 2gb conversion to do...oh, and to actually get my car back on the road. All it takes is time and some motivation. Hopefully I will have a lot less parts lying around in the near future.

This thread is awesome. You've finally got something done that you've been putting off for a while, but the weather is not being cooperative.
I've been putting off doing anything with my Galant because it's too fucking hot. I'm building up enough hatred of the heat to just go out there and attack that motor in the garage.
