Thanks everyone!
I have cleaned more extensively under the hood, polished up a lot of stuff and got rid of the brown grease coating on a lot of the silver paint. I need to take some more pics.
I never even thought of clocking the compressor outlet like that! Next project! That will let everyone see the nice wastegate which is now completely hidden from view. Also I would imagine the pipe temp would be cooler as well. It does suck not being able to push it to it's potential, but for a stock bottom end I couldn't be happier with the results. Hopefully by the fall I have bitten the bullet and got a bottom end thrown together with pauter's, the wiseco's I've had for about 3 years now, and all ARP hardware. Then I can crank up the boost to 25-30 and get those tires roasting! Hahaha...
Well, I probably won't be far away from the car at all at OC, and I am staying with some friends at my parents beach house in lewes, which is like 40 minutes from OC, so no worries on the car getting stolen hopefully. However last year I got slammed into my drivers side by some idiots in a stolen car who gave me fake insurence info. Last time I don't call the cops for ANY type of accident. Progressive covered it for just $250 out of pocket though so it wasn't too bad.
Cypher, just let me know a sunday you would like to meet and chill. Maybe the sunday after this one as I will be in OC.
But I am definately coming to the MD meet in July.
Thanks again everyone!
