What are you doing for tuning again? That wastegate setup is going to creep/spike like a mofo :(

Still looks incredible though.. sooo clean.

Tuning is still in the air at the moment. So many choices. Wastegate is to squeak by the California Smog inspecting storm troopers. The GT35R is the biggest turbo that ATP wastegate will work on... it's borderline. We'll see.

Just read through 33 pages.. . Unreal man.. Between you, Mark and Aaron's wagon, I think the US is finally getting some respect to the 5 cylinder engines. Tons of old 4 banger volvos with tons of power but until the last couple of years, no really sick 850/S's (That I've seen) outside of Europe.

Can't wait till it's done.

Looking good Scott. I'm curious to see how the ATP ultimate gate works as well. What are you doing for an oil return line?

Strangely enough, I'm using the stock oil return line. There is a trick to doing it and it doesn't just slap right in... but it does the job.

Ok - today I had to figure out all that plumbing back there. I had a plan for the water line but that went south when I noticed that the rear mount is in the way. So I had to snake it back around the mount itself. Also had to go from 1/2" to 3/8" using an adapter. Good place to put a water temp or pressure gauge too.

Notice the stock oil return line. Also the water return line.

Another angle. Took a few hours of my day to figure out all that plumbing. Whatta beeeatch! Never want to have to get in there again!!!!

For everyone who questioned whether there is enough room back there for a GT35R... no problem.

I'm leaving for Japan again tomorrow (was supposed to leave today). Don't know when I'll be back... but we're getting close!!!

:o Holy Crap.

how in the hell do you think you can get that by the smog nazis without an inside man? they went over my car with a fine tooth comb!

The guy that said he would help me... well... he is in "county" right now. Hope he gets out early for good behavior. If I can't get it done... I'll move to a state that is easier!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyone with some leads out there.... let me know!
