if it were me id find something around a saab/mitsu size. that will increase power but be auto x friendly.
Thankfully it came with the filler plate, I have some ideas for making it easily installable/uninstallable, depending on how protected I want the intercooler to be, and how sneaky I want to be.
I'm starting to lean towards the direction of making 300 and not quite spooling at 2000, I'm afraid I'd suffer on the top end too much with that small of a turbo.

From straight line monster to AutoX monster, hopefully I can have it up and running within the month

I'm gonna have to hit you up on that, I'm trying to decide if I should switch to a 2000 ECU/PCM.

They're either Arospeed RS-GT's or REV M10's. I'm not sure yet.
Thanks everyone, I'm getting excited to see what this engine can do.

Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
There's my old girl
Glad Tim was able to buy it since I know it will be taken care of and he will keep moving forward with it.
The rims are Arospeed RS-GT's in hyperblack... they are pretty old wheels actually... I got them when I first got the car about 9 years ago LOL.

Ahem
I wish I had some free cash to pick up some of that stuff, but since I dont, buy it! lol
Not much progress, I pulled the battery out, which is pretty much toast, but I was planning on relocating it to the trunk anyway, and I've got a nice red top sitting around waiting to do some work.
I was spending my time getting rid of the orange car, which I scrapped last weekend. I've gotta get an AN bung on order for the fuel rail, and start working on a new downpipe.
The one thing I learned from my last build is I can't let it rule my life, I literally didn't see anyone all last summer because I was working in the garage the whole time.
I've been purposely staying out of the classifieds so I didn't spend money, haha. I've got a few other projects I need to finish up first.

^LOL staying out of the classifieds....and I got parts in the classifieds perfect for that car!
Nice car by the way. I like the clean sporty exterior, and the interior with the gauge pod matching the tan is nice...looks like it belongs there.
GMR has got nothing on this
Tim Ill get that STR manifold out to you this week. If I remember to pull it our when I get off work today Ill ship it out tomorrow.

Ill probably send the downpipe as well. I don't plan to us it. I'm going to run vbands instead.
