can't sleep >.< TURBO INSTALL

I can't help it! I keep thinking about tomorrow! I am very excited that my car will go through turbo installation tomorrow, but I am also very nervous! Triple-Checked everything hopefully I didn't leave anything out! I will definitely post pictures of my setup, and try my best to share my experience! Hopefully this journey will help me learn many things along the way! Ok I am going to try to force myself to sleep! CAN"T WAIT!! ZOOOM PSHHH ZOOM PSHH lol

He's using a Greddy kit with an Int-X ecu. My friend Curt is doing the install at his shop on the north side of Houston.

Oh wow! I was at Curt's shop just yesterday! We were looking at a show car S2000 with individual throttle bodies, in a beautiful color blue! My friend actually has an S2000 being worked on there, my friend thinks something is wrong with either the ECU or the fuel injectors... He just recently had his S2000 ported, says he should be able too make 240 too the wheels, of course when it's working :P

Curt is a really really nice guy too, that shop is definitely FTW

Also legend, he mentioned that he would be installing a turbo in an 8 on Friday (didn't realize it would be you). I asked him who would be doing the tuning and he said definitely not him self... So I'm curious, who's tuning your beast?

Got a call from Tracktime Performance today. I'm in debate of whether or not I should gut the "meow". Decided to leave the cats on, just in case I need to go back to stock. However I am deciding on a racepipe or meow-free midpipe. Will post pictures tonight of the engine bay! I have a final today so it won't be until later tonight!
