Thats looking sweet man. Do you have a better picture of where the breather line goes for the return oil feed? I wanna see how thats done. If its too much trouble don't worry about it but awesome progress so far.

thats cool. yeah i definately wanna upgrade my old lady. just slashed past 143k miles. lol
but i take well care of it.
i was thinkin twin charge but may just go turbo. whichever offers more power and less money....

double check to make sure the clamps aren't bottoming out (common issue w/ cx racing stuff). also if you have time, pull the pipes and get 3 little lips welded on each pipe, you'll never lose one again.............. trust me. 27 psi and never had an issue (besides the motor blowing lol).
