Thanks guys! I'm loving the new look.
Started boost leak testing last night and found some pretty sizeable leaks, so I'm fixing them tonight and driving it since its 60+* out! Beautiful this week.

With 6 turbo'd cars in the shop, I can take my pick between all the boost leak testers 
Here is the one I use. My friend with the Evo made it.
Fixed 2 pretty big leaks and had to retune the car a bit lol. I'll finish that tonight, at least until my AFC comes. I may be running an LS1 GTO with a Magna on 10.5 lbs tonight on low boost.

Yeah haven't had stuff painted yet because I just built the intake a few days ago, and still need to weld a tab to it. I've been picking at the mani as you can see lol

Tapped the TTR mani for the PCV port which will go to a closed can and T to a check valve to a vac source before that, then to the intake with a check valve. I have everything besides the check valves. Al laid out the design for the most part.

No real updates here, so here is a pic.
Won't be able to get up to the local dyno to dial in the setup before heading to MN for a dyno day/car show on the 26th since my AFC isn't back yet, so I'll be getting that back and getting it close on the street and letting it ride a little on the conservative side.

Thanks! I might lower it back down a little bit, but I won't be able to go much lower because of the 245's. My fogs are on my friends car now lol, surprisingly they fit with the front mount on, but I wanted them gone.
i have been trying to find a set. really want to front end swap my car

So that's what my RL would look like with some nice wheel on it, lol. I'm trading mine in, and will probably miss it once it's gone. But time to move on.
Looking good man, one of the nicest Ion RL builds out there.
