well i finally finished installing my drag turbo kit and let me say its beautiful and i love it....

*didnt install inline feul pump yet but its it really necessary? if it is can anyone post some pics cuz drags instructions were pretty vague and i dunno it just seems like i am lacking something with this install...it runs right now so i can do this later right?

Drag FMIC
Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo
Blitz Blow Off Valve
12:1 FMU
2.5" downpipe
Turbonetics deltagate
Drag manifold
Greddy Turbo Timer-on the way
Synapse Missing Link-on the way
Competition stage 3 clutch
Stewart Warner Air/Feul and boost guage
AutoMeter Cobalt tach
STR shift knob and short shifter
custom 2.5" exhaust

i ran the vacuum line off of the wastegate to the compressor housin so that i dont get boost creep and my boost guage is only reading 5 psi (tapped to brake booster line)...can i just slightly adjust the screw on the wastegate to increase the boost and then monitor the change with the boost guage?

I think you should get a front lip to cover the bottom of the intercooler, thats just my :twocents:

You should put a sticker saying " all show " just so peaple can go nuts when they just see your tail lights after a red light.:smokin: . The only thing I don't like about that turbo kit is the manifold. The waistgate is located only on cyl 4. And that's not that good. But thats something that you can upgrade later on. Nice work tho.

so how does it ride.. and i guess you installed it yourself...? did you go and tuned the car?

i don't know if i was going to run FMU or uberdata (no money for hondata)
Let me know how it runs when tuned with FMU, unless it's already tuned.
