Can't really make up my mind about it, probably gonna order iPD's eggcrate one with chrome surround just to change it up a little :lol:

Anyways, some more progress.

Re-did the breather... twice. I managed to not clamp the elbow properly to the crankcase vent the first time, resulting in a huge oily mess. So I bought a 1" ID 90 degree elbow from Rona and used silicone couplers to create a snugger, freer-breathing fit.

Posted Image
Put on iPD's upper poly mount, replaced the ugly expansion tank, flushed the cooling system and replaced it with 25% Pentacin, 10% Redline Water Wetter, and 65% deionized water.

Posted Image
Transmission mount replaced with iPD unit. Also added a valve for easier catch can draining.

I also adjusted the wastegate and put in TME's Euro manual Stage III tune. 15psi peak, no more until I finally finish the meth kit install.

Looks very nice! But why using the old coolant cap? New one is green and does not "leak"

Couple of updates:

Posted Image
New intercooler, prior to deleting the condenser/compressor and running a 50" 6-rib serpentine belt. Also swapped the grille to the cube-type one, still undecided :P
Posted Image
Possible fun route that I'll be taking. Currently working on another polished intake manifold and tapping in the N20 jets..

On an unrelated note, also got a new go-fast(ish) toy:
