as an extra bonus - with sub - you get good gas milage too be careful around turns and make sure your brakes are good. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Is that an A/C compressor in there. I bet a black car in AZ could use that.
Does the deal you made with the girlfriend expire? It's odd you not selling cars every other month. |

Flop the alt over in the ps spot and reverse the intake? They make a wedge that angles the tb up some.
Does the turbo hit the trunk floor? will you need to shorten the uppipe and lower the turbo? It will be interesting to see how the tranny does and the rear tires. |

Does the deal you made with the girlfriend expire? It's odd you not selling cars every other month. Yep thats the one, i got a REALLY nice fitting Underdash unit from HOTROD air...same as this one in the pic. $299 is great for this one. NEW! My evaporator in front is the same size as the radiator core, so it should be freezing inside after i am done. I still cant figure out where to put my water/ air intercooler heat exchangers up front. I dont want anything else in front of the radiator...maybe dual units just under the front air dam with holes nicely cut out so they get flow.......(trans coolers that normally bolt down the frame rails on trucks looks like a possibility..... Oh no with Renegade kit, the manifold clears, and i made my own uppipe...Just clears the rear engine sheet metal, fits NICE! Wish i could post pics, but i cant cuz renegades' engine cradle is right next to it. They have a strict picture policy, and they were cool to me so i am sticking to it. The evap photo wouldnt attach, guess 4meg is too big for here....its on HOTrodair.com and its the underdash saver, fits nice YEah i'll let you know how my new tires hold up, they probably are a little thin. Oh yeah John, well that GIrlfriend is bye bye, she had a few too many issues. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but yep keeping the deal, working on one car though! |

Is that the control module sitting on top of the engine? Is the control module something that is included in teh Renegade kit? IF it is included is it pre programmed? I am researching info for a possible 914 project and would like to use the same engine as you went with.

I switched to 2005 ignitor on the coil on the plug style. Much cleaner install and no box on top of engine. My engine might be for sale soon, i am doing a 6 cylinder subaru 3.0 N/A with Delta Cams soon.... |

Is there one you prefer over another? 2.5NA, 2.0 Turbo. I am curious how they compare. -- brett (This was also posted in the other thread on this car.) |
