That's right, I'm finally boosted!! Worked on it from 5 Friday till about 8 last night. Didn't run into any big problems either, and it fired right up, smoked a little at first but that cleared up after driving it. I think the hardest part of everything was putting those damn hose ends on the fuel line. I still have to run wires for my gauges, get another yellow top battery and some more plugs too, should have that stuff done this week sometime after work. Here's a link to my member profile if you want to know the specs. http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=Nightfall And last but not least I would like to thank everyone on this site for the endless amounts of very usefull information, if it weren't for you guys, I would still be dreaming of a turbo!! !!Thank you 2gnt!!

Thanks for the comments, I'm very proud of my work, did it all by myself too, just me, my tools and 2gnt.com! The hatch wasn't difficult at all to put on, took the old one down to the auto glass place, they cut it out and gave me a tube of the sealer stuff to reinstall it. Yeah, I'm running stock shocks on Sportlines, it doesn't ride that bad, but I plan on upgrading those soon though. The boost gauge is the ONLY gauge I have hooked up right now lol! And guess what already happened the second day after install, I got a damn speeding ticket, guess I really need to gather up some motivation and pull the trans again to replace that peice-o-shit gear. It's always something...

hehe a little boost happy already huh?
You're right, those fittings on the fuel line are a PITA, I cut myself plenty putting them on.
Congrats on the install, car looks real good
