Starting Work 2005

We finally got around to installing my front mount intercooler and boost controller. Here are a couple of pictures of the empty engine bay and parts lying all over the place. I will post more pictures after I've painted the pipe work and all is back installed and looking good.

Finished piping (needs to be painted now)

Front mount intercooler through the front bumper. It is black, but I didn't want it to be flashy so it works out nicely.

My blow off valve with silver insert (I prefer the purple one).

Random photo....

Starting work 2006
New parts:
Tires (Falken FK-451, 245/40R17 for the back)

Wheels (5zigen FN01R-C)
front 17x9 +35 offset

New front wheels on the car along with the CF hood and TEIN HA coils. Car sits nice and low now.

After lowering the car, i found out my exhaust sits too low for Regina roads, so it had to come off. Right now all i've got is 3" turbo back straight pipe. Looking for a new muffler and maybe a resonator, but we'll see about the resonator after i hear the exhaust with a new muffler on it.

I went to the drag races at the local (250km drive) drag strip. On my third run i blew the turbo right off the launch. So I spent the next two weeks sourcing and replacing the stock turbine with another stock turbine and new turbo elbow and downpipe to give me a full 3" turbo back exhaust.

Blown turbo, notice the complete lack of exhaust turbine. It sheared off right at the shaft. Nothing left, and no damage to the housing or anything else. Guess i'm lucky that no damage to my engine was caused.

New turbo in. The oil line and the coolants lines were a pain...I hate hard lines.

New turbo elbow. Shiny...for now.

New downpipe. Shiny...for now as well.

Car on jackstands...again
