Great news, a bunch of packages showed up this week.
Bypass valve mounting pipe.
T-Bolt clamps.
All the silicone couplers.
Charge piping kit (various straights and angles).
Urethane lower motor/tranny mount bushings (Energy Suspension).
Plus, had my timing belt replaced as precautionary measure thanks to NikiterZTS's mechanic recommend.
The bypass valve mounting "T" pipe is a nice piece I got from Ebay. Steeda didn't stock anything like this and they'd have to fab it up costing fairly large $$ for a small piece of pipe. The Ebay piece is a really nice piece, its machined so there's no welds on it at all. Plus it came with an extra 4 T-Bolt clamps...
Only thing I'm waiting for is the MAFia which is in the mail right now.
So, whats left to do: swap out the motor/tranny mount bushings, fab up 2 pieces of charge piping, take piping to get beaded ends rolled, connect the vacuum line for the bypass, sort out PCV and find where the hell that knocking/rattling/vibration sound is coming from! I think that's it before it's ready for tuning.
I'm almost there, it's taken longer than I wanted, freetime barely exists. Mostly though, I want to make sure everything is top notch before I bring it in for tuning.
When everything's said and done, I'll post up a bunch of pics and a movie clip.
Holy crap, I just noticed this thread's gotten up to 114 posts! :o
Thanks everyone!
