Oh... heh... my bad. Looked like a serious post to me...

"Looks who's slow now!!!!11 BUAHAHAHAAA!!! PWN3D!!!!11one"


It took me almost exactly two months working two days a weeks, so about 16 days. Actually more like 18 all said and done.

The major obstacles in this swap were the fact that we got the wrong ECU with the engine, and that took a while to figure out (probably added an entire two weeks to the swap). Then we also forgot to get the GT mounts, so the front and rear mounts on this car are custom parts. Then we found out that we didn't order enough intercooler piping, so that slowed us down a bit. Typical stuff, all in all it went quite well, but it could have gone a lot smoother.

SWEET! I CANT WAIT TILL MY CAR LOOKS LIKE THAT! :-D

nice work, about the other thread what was the coolant sensor issue? and how hard would it be to clock my turbo like you did?

Yeap I fixed it, just a matter of a wire giving me some trouble. The hardest part of clocking the turbo is getting the angle right and then making a bracket that will hold the wastegate at the right angle and distance from the actuator.
