Yeah the airbox setup I already have started cutting and getting the pipng the way I want it. I went with REALLY large ducting as I wanted as much air as possible through there. Its like 4 inch piping or something like that but it fits, along with a collector. All I have to do is cut up a hole large enough for the 4inch pipe. I am worried that cutting too much sheetmetal will weaken the structure, but I really doubt that the metal right there is structural. Also I need to build a heat shield for it.
Another thing I plan to do easter weekend is boost leak test. I have some probably somewhere so I need to do it. If it is the manifold I will have to remove the manifold to fix it, so at that time I AM going to do an alternator relocation. Since I removed my a/c beneath the manifold at the back of the motor, I can get a kit to move my alternator to where the a/c compressor was. This moves more weight inward, also the alternator will not see of any of the heat of the radiator, turbo and exhaust that are literally 4 inches from the alternator. So I will hopefully get a longer life alternator/ better power.
Also I got the ingalls camber kit in, but I looked back at my camber up front and it is at 2 degrees up front and .3 degrees in the rear. So I actually didnt need the front kit, and I am going to have to remove some of my washers in the rear to get the rear at about 1.5 degrees. Also the toe in the rear needs to be completely eliminated, the toe up front pull a little off.
Also gonna order a heat shield this week and get some exhaust wrap. Gonna pull my turbo, manifold, and o2 off and heat-wrap all of it. and halfway down the downpipe, so I can keep some heat in them and off of my radiator and engine bay.
Anyone know of any good body shops, ill be visiting some this week to determine where I want to go, but I would obviously enjoy any recommendations.
