Hello friends it's been a long time since I posted about restoring my 98 RS and left you with the promise that turbo noises were to come. Well this summer, they finally came and I'm so happy! See the original post with all the body work (minus wheels) here: http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=60&topic_id=49006
First i have to say that this Forum is unlike any other! The amount of knowledge, R&D, trial and error, and self taught lessons that can be found here is incredible if you are willing to take the time and look for it.

Pictures first to keep your attention and i will put the mods list and special details at the end. please feel free to hit me up with questions or feedback.
