i think you can drive the car but i don't know on a turbo though...'cause probably gonna have boost all the time...or i might be wrong. good luck...just let me know.

 

UPDATE!

Installed intercooler and fuel pump today. Installing the fuel pump was a lot easier than I thought it would be =). Still waiting on the turbo housing before I could start it up but I primed the fuel system and no leaks! Can't wait for dyno time this week!

Here are some pics taken with my crap camera phone. Any suggestions on where I could mount the front plates or should I risk it and leave it off? I don't want "another" no front plate ticket...





Stay tuned!

 

Looks great! Im stoked for ya

 

No front plate for two plus years and no ticket. Risk it.

 

since i bought the car last 2002 didn't get a ticket....but knock on the wood though. it's your choice.

 

Looking awesome!

Did you have to trim your bumper at all to get the IC to fit? Also it looks like there some nice space on the side to allow additional air flow to your radiator, which is a nice bonus.

I'd like to get a new front bumper eventually that offers a bigger front opening.

I gotta head out to Forge next week to pick up some parts, so maybe I will see you there.

 

Yes, I had to cut and trim the fender well and also the bumper. For the bumper, I just trimmed the insert and not the actual bumper itself, not sure if the ap1's have this..

See you there! I'll keep you all updated with a date/time if someone near by wanna come check it out while its on the dyno..

 

Im not far from Forged I'd to come and watch just let me know when

 

awesome progress, gpw with a cooler in front

as for the plate, ive had a couple, but havent got one for a few years, recently got one this month while PARKED downtown. $55

 

Received and installed the turbo housing today. Started the car up tonight. The thing turned over in 1 crank, with open downpipe. It was 11pm at night and I live in the suburbs of Clackamas =). The initial start up was fine but couldn't maintain much of a steady idle. I then uploaded the 1000cc start up base map along with 4 bar map setting and it idled like stock and ran it until the engine warmed up. Best of all, no leaks! I will play with the parameters more tomorrow. Anyhow, will be taking it to Forge Wednesday for exhaust then hopefully tune by Thursday/Friday.

Stay tuned!!!
