No Problem Man!

Even though I have some of the best prices out there, I still like to take care of repeat customers.

ordered my MAF tube and BOV today.

its looking like i'm going to need to add motor mounts to my list now. the engine vibration is un-bearable. anyone know a good place to get new motor mounts? i'm thinking of just calling up Rosenthal Mazda and talking to Tommy.

well i'm down to the last few parts that i need to start. i've got some work schedule conflicts that are going to keep me from starting. once i start the teardown and build, i think i will make a new thread and post lots of pics. my goal is to have it done by April so i can take it to DGRR with a turbo.

I think we need to collect donations for a better camera, or lessons. j/k
would take a clearer shot of the Blk Hks BOV? please? It's looks pretty cool, just have alwasy seen the crappy online pics.

IDK if you read the one part in my build thread about the AT hard lines. unbolt them and they will rest on the top of the charge pipe to the turbo. Now since you are coating your pipes, I would be ticked if something was rubbing on them.
Hell, why coat it then, you know.

I want to say the lines to that point are hard lines from the tranny. I didn't have a pipe bender to fix mine..

Just a though for ya to ponder.

i haven't really put any thought to it. i want to make sure my car is running properly first before i decide to even buy a boost controller and mess around with the boost. i will most likely be using an electronic BC.

Simple install ftw

I agree with 09Factor. The Greddy is a very nice piece and easy to use.

Getting my desired boost level with no spikes takes me less than 20 minutes.
