First Drive

Was able to drive the car today, love it. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. Still need to do some tuning when I find bigger injectors. Running 5 lbs of boost with my 30#s right now, not beating on it. Im keeping a close eye on the a/f with my wideband, so far im ok.






Special thanks to ReakQuick and subarubill96 and whoever else gave me advice. I asked a ton of questions here over the last couple weeks and have gotten a lot of good advice!

yeah i dont think ill be cutting up my front bumper, as i like the stock look, if i ever did decide i need space for the intercooler, the 98+ conversion has a perfect space for a intercooler
