The Mental Addiction Conversion Begins!!!

[LinuxRacr]

The transformation from The BEGI Prototype Kit to Mental Addiction Sleeper version 1 (Pre-Tubular Manifold/Pre-Angled End-Tanks on FMIC). I picked up the kit as a result of PDHAudio83's upgrade to the Newer Sleeper Kit. It was used on his car for roughly 8 months in the Northeren U.S. I will be cleaning it up a bit before install. Please note that not all the studs and nuts are on the assymbly yet.

Notice the intercooler in the backround in my front grill

bout time man! Git er done!

 

[vindication]

dang, you still didn't get this done? get the steppin.
also, you should prob have a shop redo those endtanks soo that they function more properly into angled ones. shouldn't cost much

 

[LinuxRacr]

The end-tanks will be fine for the power I want. Not worth the hassle. Plus it looks SOOO sexy already.

More progress tonight. I tightened in some studs, connected the downpipe to the turbo, and sealed with 650 F gasket maker. I understand why Beau used allen cap screws now! Oil fittings have also been tightened too. Putting things together first before I start taking s*** apart on my car. I want to make sure this is going to go as smoothly as possible. Previous experience has been invaluable to me! Excitement is back.
