i got it done !!

well !!! it is finally in...up till midnight last night up grading my early 99 turbo..what a pain them up bolts are to put in the up pipes...you need to be double jointed to get to them top bolts on the passenger side...didn't seem to gain a lot of seat of the pants..but I did notice faster boost # and little lower EGT'S..the gauge jumps right to 25 lb. she blows black smoke but clears right up in my 80 tune..here is a couple of pics..i would like to thank every one that has helped me out on this and for the great advice i got..just shows what you can do when you got FTE at your finger tips.

And the "wheres Waldo" prize goes to Joe. I honestly had to go back and look for it to check it out.


Ron, I like the IC pipes, That candy looks great. I hope the upgrade of the turbo does everything you have hoped for.

thanks guy's..I painted the pipes candy apple red...don't know if it will get too hot for that paint..a friend had some left over so I thought I would try it..wish I could have done the spider in candy too but there wasn't enough so I painted the plenum, valley and the spider orange..makes seeing oil leaks a lot better.
