Extremely cool stuff...

Once you get the orange hose replaced with hard pipe, that's going to be perfect. Great idea with the gauges. I want to mount some stuff in the cassette holder like that too. What kind of material did you use for that cover- plastic? The texture looks pretty close...

Very nice setup and a very cool car. Must run like a raped ape...

I think I may have to take the rest of the day off and go home and cry next to my supercharged Z

Damn, that is sweet!

How much for you to build a replica to that turbo kit? Just take all the piping, manifolds and turbos and send me some just like them and i'll take care of the rest. Thats just plain sick looking and i would love to own it but I am sure I would break it quick. Awesome car man.

Thanks everyone

As far as the gauges, I just removed the heater vent, and used fiberglass filler to form the area for the gauges. After it was finished, I painted it with flat black paint and it blended in fairly well.

It is very difficult to work on. I dropped out the engine to install the system and put it up in the car as an assembly. I havn't changed the plugs since I first installed the system, but I can tell you the rear two plugs are not easy to get to. I could have high-mounted the turbos, but I felt that since I wanted to keep all the accessories, and minimize underhood heat, low mounting the turbos was the best option. (and they still gravity drain fine).

I used the stock K-member (which was notched/boxed slightly for the compressor housings), because I don't like the way the tubular stuff 'feels'. Out of all the f-body's I've driven, it seems like they really feel tighter going down the road with the stock components.

The car is not a daily driver, but I do drive it often and I have gotten stuck in the rain a few times. The only thing in the intercoolers was a few worms, but they hosed right off .
