with all my turbo s*** everywhere ive found my engine bay is a mess of vacuum lines and extra wires (ex - from extending my o2 sensor around the engine block)...you guys use wire looms or some s***? i dont want something tacky or piss poor.

Clean up the wires andvac lines to be just a little longer then necessary, and then make it all look factory with new black loom and good quality black zip ties. Do not get that dollar store or ebay s***, make it look factory.

nice gald its figured, buy the good stuff at autozone. and wrap in electrical tape it looks so much better then zip ties, i really thought wire loom would look bad but tastfully it looks good.

Do not wait to up to boost to get a wideband. Save the 350 and get one from Perf. Trust me bro, a wideband is the single most important item on any aftermarket boosted car. If you dont want to or cant, do it, get yourself an EGT gauge at least Matt.

L8R got it right too about the electrical tape. It keeps the wires neat, and easier to get flex loom around.
