those wheels suck....mine are SO much better :laugh:
Looking good Sam. I did notice one thing though. Your skid plate sticks out pretty far. I'd be worried about bending the hell out of it if you scrape or bump something. Mine is tucked under a bit further. I think it looks cleaner that way too. Mine has already came in handy and not one single mark anywhere to show for it (as my pics testify). I love that thing.

NICE!!!
You should be fine running 7-8 lbs of boost. It will come on IMMEDIATELY with that turbo too. Hell, the GT3076Rs Ryan and I running are almost instant too.
I took pics of where I drilled and tapped my IC this weekend. Just need to get them uploaded. I'll PM them to you then.
Tricker is right about the IC. He knows cause he saw me dyno my 3L with the same one a couple years back. When the secondaries open it cannot flow enough. But, it sounds like you have your expectations right. Keep an eye on how warm the water in the resevoir gets after a few spirited runs, especially down in FL. Something I never did but was seriously thinking about when I still had that IC was a better heat exchanger. I was looking for a stock one from a lightning or cobra, or even a transcooler from summit.
Seemed like the resevoir water would take forever to cool off. That was another reason I put the pump on a switch, so under casual driving or stop-and-go I could prevent the cooler water in the trunk from being circulated thru the engine bay.

My skid plate is a one off that was made a few years before the PRT plates.
Thanks Jim. I hope so!
Im glad you have had experience with this. We will become good friends at SZ! I will keep an eye on those things and I will look forward to the pics. I may just end up taking you the intercooler anyways.
Dont do it. It wont be yours much longer anyways.
Came with the turbo kit. Arent really accents they are necessities. I didnt feel like spenging a ton of money to get black hoses when I already had perfectly good ones. I too didnt like it at first but I have gotten used to it. It also indicates what is for the turbo and which hoses are for the engine.
2 here in Fl (one is almost sold)
2 in Alabama that are at OB1's place
1 in Kansas that I have almost paid for that needs to be shipped down here to me.
1 in Ft Myers FL that I am trying to buy from the insurance comapny after a total loss
2 in Michigan that I am part owners with my business partner that I will be building 2 3Ls. for

Looking good...but I seen these pics months ago!:laugh:

Mostly family but my brother has driven it the most. I think my dad has driven it once or twice in the 8 years Ive owned the car.
