Hey thanks for the compliments guys, I am so happy that this is finished, I cannot explain. I refuse to go into boost before a tune, I don't want to ruin anything with this project. Oh, I am the second boosted DEP. The first is Hotaccord, don't forget!

Probably next week. It all depends on when that piping comes in! As soon as it's in I'm going to muffler shop, and then tune same, or next day!

Thanks man! Yeah I really needed this done quick, so I just decided to get it done. Right now the problem is that I don't have the exhaust piping yet.. only Monday.

The piping is from Drag Turbo. It was made for the car. The only problem I ran into was the little extension on the radiator, it sticks out and when the pipe is there it tends to rub on it. I think it may be a similar situation as you with the motor mount erosion. It's kind of a tight space between the radiator and the radiator support. Tucking it behind the bumper was a little weird for me. Your piping attaches to the intercooler in the middle of the side. On my intercooler, ir attaches at the bottom. The bumper is hiding the pipes, but the bottom of bumper cover bends out. What I did was cut into the bumper to relieve tension on the bottom part and some of the piping sticks through underneath.

It's an open wastegate.

Nikita I am so proud of you man you did it.

Thanks Mike!

Kind of a weird setup now. I have 225/40R18 on front now, but on rear it's 215/35R18. Sort of a temporary fix. I'll need to supplement the back with higher profile and thicker tires for sure!

Nikita,

Much props to you, the car has come a long way in a very short amount of time. Hope all goes well with the tune and you can get the most potential out of the build.
