Great build so far. You're way better at doing the interior than I am. How'd you get your rear pillars so nice! I couldn't on mine and I had to make the best with what I could do. Also I ended up screwing up my sun roof bc I don't have the clips on that keep it on track. Got any pics of how those work..? I'm happy with mine but It's definitely not as good as yours.

Also how did you get past the rear panels? Mine were attached by some melted together plastic tabs.

Is the Moroso pan going to be a slimmer one to create a dry-sump system, or is it just the regular size Moroso brand name pan, with the oil-return bung pre-welded onto it?

Did you have to get rid of your AC to make room for the turbo/intercooler?

The manifold I got isnt ac/ps compatible. Didnt want to go with that log style bull**** manifold, which i think is the only one you can use to retain ac/ps

Yea I heard its an absolute ***** but if you do it outside the car, its not bad and itll clear.... fingers crossed. If not you'll see a Skunk2 H22 IM port matched to a Skunk2 70mm TB on here for sale soon lol.

EDIT: Yea after a little more searching it seems to be the brake booster that gets in the way..... Chase Bays makes a booster delete for 199, so I'm sure that'll be one more thing to add to the list lol, whatever, I'll cross that bridge when I get there

Low boost to begin with, got a 7.25 spring. Eventually gonna rip it all up and fully build it and go high boost.
