alright guys i got a some major updates. this weekend my wife was working so i had to attend to the rugrats. so saturday and most of sunday was devoted to them. sunday around 4:30 i started working on the car.
here are the pics
while this was getting installed i was broiling some beer brats getting them ready to grill
then after dinner we started on the intercooler piping which was a *****!! i had installed the piping and did a boost leak check. here is where i'm confused. we ended up pressurizing the system to about 5-10psi and there is a leak that sounds like its coming from the TB. i replaced the shaft seals with MilSPecs but one got pinched during install so i think that is my issue. the leak is audible but i cant feel it nor does it produce bubbles. i can change the tone of the leak buy touching the spring (throttle cable) without moving the TB plate. so i'm thinking i need new seals again lol. no biggie i'm still installing everything and ordering new seals.
Jason you got PM!
another thing i had issues with last night was my Perrin intake tube and amsoil filter (4560).
the perrin intake tube sits at an angle which makes it difficult to install the filter and the filter seems to be a little to long as its pushing the ACD reservoir tank. also installing the TBolt clamp kit was a pain too lol i think i was just alittle tired yesterday so i may not have been thinking straight
so i hope anyway!
here is what i'm talking about
saturday night i had made and installed a grounding kit. i purchased 10ft of 4ga transparent black cable and 12 4ga eyelets. see if you guys can spot it
more updates to come later on today.
i still need to install downpipe, fill with oil, and radiator fluid, charge the battery, flash for the new injectors, relocate the MBC and prime the turbo prior to starting. wish me luck!

latest update.
the car is alive!!! dialing in injectors which will continue tomorrow. so far with what is in there idle afr isnt bad and the o2 feedback and low trim (idle only so far) isnt to bad either.
the coolant lines to the turbo seem to be seaping a little so i will try to tighten a little more. but the one that is behind the turbo facing the block is going to suck to get to. so far no oil leaks so for now so far so good i guess
well here are the pics
hey jason check your PM. and thanks for everything once again.
i opened up the MBC and installed the stiffer spring after i compressed the spring around 70 times lol. and it is set to the lowest setting.
once i get it dialed in alittle better i will be driving it around town and getting ready for the trip to AWD. for GSC S2's + springs, timing belt, head studs and tune.
more updates to come!!

MilSpec seals ordered again this time i'll make sure to not pinch the seal 
didnt get to tune the injectors today. had to much going on after work, lawn mower didnt want to start so i had to trouble shot it and son's cub scouts meeting so needless to say i didnt get the chance to play with her today. Tomorrow is a whole new day and i might even try to leave work early enough to play with it.. we'll see!

i got the car running again today after adjusting the injector latency i got the following values
injector duty cycle 1.08
fuel trim low (-1.0758)
o2 feedback fluctuated from -.8 thru +1
i took it for a spin and she felt different. the car felt like it hit hard but it was a quick sprint on WOT. i logged 24psi, max load of 265 which is around the same i have seen on the stocker around the same PSI. afr was a little lean roughly around 11.8 but no knock. i richened up the fuel map just in case but i dont plan on doing to many WOT runs until i get the headstuds installed.
so then she got washed and parked in the garage. i still need to adjust some stuff for startup but either way so far so good.

still messing with the injectors scaling and latency.
it has its moments during startup but nothing to crazy. this turbo sure is louder than stock it has the turbo whistle noise and another noise that scared me at first, i thought it was my TC but it seems to happen when the turbo is spooling. more to come

Looks like she is coming along great
Where did you pick up the perrin intake tube? I want to run the amsoil filter you have but with my injen intake there is no way it will fit. Wait...I'll have to get the fp intake pipe, but I wonder if that will fit. Sorry I am going off in you thread, my bad!
Great work man, can't wait to see some numbers

i got the perrin from someone on the forum. the amsoil is a 4.5" inner diameter flange fliter. its definitely nice just a tad bit to long but i'll trim the intake tube a tad and it should fit fine.
the car defintely needs a tune and i got the injectors scaled good enough to drive around but it still needs some work. i'm definitely glad to be driving her again. cant wait to really feel what this setup has.
tonight im ordering the cams and headstuds! the plans have changed due to some scheduling conflicts but it will still get done.
i so have a side note that if i were to do this again i would not spray the downpipe with the recommended sealer. this thing has done nothing but smoke the entire time lol it stinks! although its becoming less but its annoying. i have comptemplated removing the wrap but im sure it will stop soon.
evolutionIX if your interested in the amsoil filter send me a PM and i can set you up with something.
