Well had to make some sacrifices financially to keep the car so I sold the fuel lines, my new centerforce clutch and my tires. So the car is currently on polished sawblades at the moment. Last week my map sensor took a dump so the car has been sitting. Im going to be picking up a MAP-ECU monday to solve the issue as the MAP-ECU bypasses the stock map sensor. They are the same price but with this I can turn the boost up to 18psi and leave it.

Pretty much had to take 2 steps backwards on the build to keep the car but its worth it if it means keeping the car...

Also did the foglight rewire and installed new coilpack clips that were given to me as mine were all broken and brittle.

Also turbo blew up again last week so I need to get rid of the cheap center cartridge and get a real garrett one and probably needs a new P trim well see. Regardless car has sat for the past week cause Im leaving for Germany in a week and would rather save the money for the trip than get the turbo fixed. So turbo will be fixed in about 6 weeks, after I get back. Im going for study abroad should be fun...Cant imagine what I would of done to the car with the 5K I spent on the trip :aigo:

Need some better pics of the wheels to give you an opinion, but they look good from the looks of the one picture! How do you like that BOV?
