new addition to the setup

[Chuki_breath]

nothing special. Well i guess in the land of bov's its a nice one. But here it is. Tial has some nice quality pieces. I like how they look and are made compared to all the other bov's i have personally seen. (hks, greddy, apex, sard)...although the sard r2d2 bov does look pretty nice. I almost just picked that one up at a local shop, but i wanted to match my bov and wastegate because im a ricer lol.

i know i know haha, i cant wait to get it all going either. I took a long break from it. I just hate working in the damn cold. But now its warming up so im gonna start on it again. Im going to try and get a few things that i need just so its driveable again. Rear rotors, test pipe, put the brakes on and mount a seat back up, get tires.

The turbo setup is far from done......i still need engine internals too. That will come together in time. I want to get it driveable again so i can work out the bugs with any of the parts that i have already put on. That way when the motor is ready to be put in, i wont have to worry about anything going wrong except motor stuff.

i fucking love that manifold and the design. Once i get good at TIG im going to be attempting to do my collector/dump pipe that same way. Pictures saved...

chuki do you have another ka sitting around? you were talking like you have one to put in the car just to drive around with and one sitting on a stand or somethin. just curious

[Chuki_breath]

No i dont have another ka. I do have a head though. I blew my first ka in my hatch. I salvaged the head/cams/valvecover and everything else stock in the head. The block i would have, but i blew a fist sized hole in the side of it haha. I still have to pull my motor, send it to machine shop, and build it.......not to mention paint the bay.

[S13Driftfiend]

ok gotchya. engine bay black im assuming

[turbo2nr]

yup that next for me too hks is to ricy now.. kat and a usdm bov tial all the way

i just realized that BOV uses a small V-band to mount, awesome idea. Does it have a small o-ring or gasket to get a proper seal?
