Default *pics* Cobra turbo install progress

I spent most of the day yesterday taking off all of the supercharger related items and sticking the '01 Cobra intake in it's place. It fit pretty well, hopefully there will be no issues there.

Today I started removing the K-member and control arms to make way for the new tubular K-member and coilovers. Hopefully I can have that finished by today and at least get the turbo manifolds on.


Anyway, heres some pics.

I got the k-member and old manifolds off today after my first post. I didn't have any hi temp RTV to seal the new manifolds so I'm calling it quits for today. Didn't get any pics since not much has changed.


Tomorrow I hope to have the tubular k-member on and all the turbo tubing at least to the intercooler.


Sam@Coastal is going to tune it Getting a video of the dyno should be no problem if things go as planned and I have plenty of time.


I'd be happy to give you guys rides, but it's going to have some bugs to work out for awhile.. I've still got tons of shit to do even after I get it running. Hell the car dosent even have a transmission in it right now


About the bumper supports, I assume you mean the black styrofoam.. I can get rid of that with no ill-effects?

The transmission is out because I'm replacing the clutch with a mcleod twin disk. I had it all done and decided I wanted to use a new pilot bearing so took it all back apart. It's just another thing to add to the list of 'shit to do' before the car is up and running again.


And yeah.. I'm doing all the work myself. 95% of the time I don't even have a helper
