It has 2" coming out of the turbos, merging to a 3" into the intercooler, and 3" from the intercooler to the throttle body.

Coming along great Jody! By looking at the time of some of your posts I take it there are late night's in there.

Can't wait to see the whole car pic outside the garage... Or better yet, maybe at Sac raceway!!!!!

I would think so. Power Tour is the main goal for now.

Got the windows in today. Man, it really feels good, car looks a lot more complete to me.








Picked up my speakers today. Going to install them and get the stereo done tonight, so I can put carpet in tomorrow. New SC&C control arms should be in tomorrow, so should be able to start driving and tuning this weekend.

Someone who knows more than you... your funny!
I know how you feel. I spent a lot of late nights trying to figure out the same thing. Almost gave up a few times.The intercooling was the hardest part of all the plumbing on my car. My turbos are 2.5". I went with two intercoolers with 2.5" in/out and merged them at the throttle. I still felt like I compromised some of the airflow.
Hey,Yeah, are you going to take it to any local car shows?

Ahhh yes- the sweet patina of heated stainless- I love it. Polished is great, but seeing the rainbow after a nice weld is just as cool.

Just got my PHR mag in the mail Today. The car looks killer in the under construction section Nice to see that car in print again!

well, got the carpet, package tray and rear seat in. Heading back out to put in the console and shifter. Looks good to see it getting closer.








Oh, the car had a stereo in it when I bought it, but it wouldn't even turn on. I figured I'd mess with it when I put the car back together, probably a fuse or something simple. Well, after losing a couple hours testing it, it doesn't work............ So, since it had been remanufactured once already judging by the sticker on the unit, I decided to remanufacture it again........





If you look in the first pic I have a new Kenwood with Sirius capability, and since I have a lifetime membership I'm going to take advantage of it.
