Looks great, I agree with cleaning up the turbo. That is the main thing people are going to notice, you want it to look as beautiful as the rest of the engine!

4bangen, I like the color you have on the pulleys, timing belt cover and p/s pump bracket. Is that Eastwood's Detail Grey or something else. Manufacturer, color and where to buy it, please sir. Much appreciated!

thanks for the kind words. Its matalic grafite wheel paint I belive. or It might be charcloe. Ill have to double check. I will be clear coating all the brackets and pullies and stuff this weekend. I still have to paint the intake as well. Im going to put the t3 on the vert due to the fact that I dont think my a/c will fit if I use the holset. and in texas in augist when its 102 outside with out a breeze I want to be able to use the a/c. Call me crazy but I dont see suffering a heat stroke at a redlight being so fun. ill keep yall up to date on my progress.
