Re: the gnomes in my closet have been collecting parts =]

ya really haha Plus buying a kit and slapping it on wouldn't be the completely self planned and put together and fabricated kit that I want.

The whole reason I'm doing it this way is because I want to use this whole build as a sort of business card to show my work. I plan on working for a performance shop when I graduate so I figured there's no better way to get the experience I need then to build the car myself and see what kinda of things need to be done to put a turbo kit together piece by piece and the problems you can run into in the process.
this is a very good idea and think it would help alot when looking into a job
make sure to take a lot of pics of the build with u in them so u have credibility
:thumbsup:

all the rest of the parts that I need, aside from random vacuum lines and rad hoses that I'll have to replace with the new engine, will all be ordered this weekend. Also I'll hopefully be picking up the block this weekend. Gotta call raceeng.com tomorrow and find out when my pistons will be here. Expect numbers within the next month or so. Also lots of pics soon, gonna start snappin pics of all the parts tonight or tomorrow so expect some updated pics this week.
