Talking Freshly Boosted 8!

Iv'e had my car for almost 2 years now and I have came along way, thanks to many of the people here on this site my car is where it's at today.

Here's the day I got her, pretty stock,dat wheel gap-_-. Did like the stock chromies though.




As I got more interested I put a little bit more money into her and bought some wheels, coilovers, exhaust, and a couple other things.





Now how she sits currently, with a brand new Esmeril HP kit running from Adaptronics full standalone kit and installed by my buddy Evan Rubin who truly hooked me up on price and did everything perfect, no corners cut. I'll post up dyno results when I receive them..

The MAP doesn't do anything in this setup except being used as an inlet air temperature sensor. Because several things will not work properly if the MAF is removed, such as the charging/alternator system, it gets mounted on the pipe but is not used for MAF reading purposes.

Cheers!

Not a fan of dipped cars, that being said I do have to admit very clean build.

Another bump for numbers, also interested how this kit pans out in the long run.

Any problems dealing with Chris, heard bad things about some of the components. Interested in your thoughts and how the process went.

I purchased this set up through Coty Meloncon, the serial numbers were checked and everything came back okay. As for the plasti dip, I like it, but I can't wait to tear that **** off and go back to bb, I just have to wait until I can afford to re spray the front bumper and trunk because they are primered from getting my badge and spoiler holes filled.

Should be tuned w/ dyno results at the end of the week. I'm going to be going for a conservative turn so the number won't be jaw dropping. Waiting to see how the car responds. Wish me luck!

Oh! Before anyone says anything (shocked no one has yet)... yes I plan on buying some real tires for the rear, having a boosted 8 on some 225's is pointless.
