Im glad you got it done, Im happy you did a write-up. When I first read this post I was excited for you, then I saw your write-up with the pics. DON'T EVER POP YOUR HOOD!!! That is one of the saddest things I have seen on a 2GNT, Im surprised you haven't popped your hoses yet. Pull off the entire kit until you can put real pipes on and not those rubber water hoses. I commend you for your effort and what you accomplished in 2 months time, but you should have spent 4 months on it. Im sorry this is such a negative response, I don't normally respond like this to someone who is putting forth an honest effort, I just believe you'll be a lot happier in the end if you put more time and MONEY into it.


what are you recommending be changed besides the intake piping, because if you read those are just temporary pipes until i weld up the IC pipes. and if you read, Ive popped 4 of them lol. those are just until i can get the U bends from summit and weld them up to connect the IC. The downpipe weld will look a lot better after today, because im taking it off, grinding it down and giving the Down pipe a nice hi temp painting. besides those 2 things, i dont see anything else that looks bad.

but its not what it looks like thats important, its how it works. this isnt a show car, this is all for performance. id much rather have a ugly functioning turbo kit then be running NA

EDIT: I just looked at the pics again and im really not sure how you can say that my engine bay is one of the saddast things you have seen on a 2gnt? the manifold looks a little shitty because that pic was taken just after i had taken the manifold off to make the block off plate, and i had re-sprayed it with copper. so on the header flange the copper hasnt burned all the way off yet, giving it that ugly brown/red color. otherwise i dont think it looks too bad at all. im not sure where you are getting this from. ehh whatever its not the finished project, i dont think it looks to bad and it is functioning quite well and thats all that really matters
