You going to tackle that install yourself? LTH and SC will make that a bitch I would think

I no longer have the LTH, just stock exhaust manifolds and TP now.
I think the transmission should be easy but the engine mounts will require a lift make it easier. Going to search the forum and see if anyone has done it themselves with a SC or TT setup yet.

With a TT kit there's piping right where you need to be to get access to the mounts.

Yeah, the TT kit is probably harder, where with the SC the intake piping is like have a stillen gen 3 really. The passenger side is a bit trickier since you have the SC unit near the headers.

2marrow or the next. Just a break in tune though. Nothing crazy yet. Clutch and motor still need miles! Then new oils and hi boostness

Hopefully I'll be available for the post break-in tune

O&G · 03-20-2014, 08:00 PM

Lots of stuff completed today. Hotside piping, boost pipe, rear exhaust section, fuel system wrapped and adjusted, rims on, gauges wired up.

Jtran chose to run the wastegate off the turbo exhaust housing for better control and placement.

Things to do still:
finish exhaust tomorrow, turbo coolant plumbing, coupler clamps and hardware, install electronic boost controller (I'll be running wastegate boost for break in), break in tune, order center caps for rims, finish wrapping the wastegate piping, paint and finish roll bar installation with harness loops and then drive for 500 miles and change out fluid.

Should be driving tomorrow! We started her today to check for leaks, etc...

After we get the E85 situated I'll push her for the big numbers!

Shitty cell phone pics for now:

Mr. Bergenholtz will be dialing in my suspension for maximum traction, no one better than him to do it with his experience in racing!

GaleForce · 03-20-2014, 11:10 PM

Nice!

Those wheels

Boost_lee · 03-20-2014, 11:21 PM

Nice updates!

What size are the front R-S3's? I'm debating on getting these for mine, but I'm a bit weary if I get stuck in the rain...I hear they aren't too good
