alright! so.. nothing fits! but thats what cutting tools and welding tools are for!
here is the rad sitting all oem like after i lowered it.. and whats that in the corner! a wastegate.. looks a little big!
DAMN! it is too big!
so i had to relocate the wastegate...thats a thing? grabbed a cheap 90 from canadian tires and some old flanges and made this! yes there is a brace to the block also
so now it was time to focus on the downpipe.. and the cat wouldnt come off... no matter
lets just say the downpipe was a tight fit.. pie cuts ftmfw
and after all cleaned up and DOUBLE heat wrapped! whale penis intake.. pffft WHALE PENIS DOWNPIPE bishh
and heres a quick picture from instagram .... ps @chrissnails
while i had the chance i tucked my HID wires and ballast, painted the dizzy and vtec solenoid black and loomed a bunch or stuff that wasnt looking too pretty..
all that is left is to mount some gauges and get a couple bead rolls and chargepipe

then tune tomorrow!
