little update, i tore my engine down a few months ago and found all of my ring lands cracked so i bought some srp pistons and eagles rods. been running good for a few thousand miles so far
also cut my bumper a few months ago because i was over heating and was doing everything i could to get more air into the bay
my hood latch cable also stretched like crazy so i threw on some hood pins because it was cheaper

then redid my charge piping because i was using an old intake before and the clamps kept crushing it

This is fucking sexy. :yes:
Shoulda posted some carnage pics of the pistons. Oh well. Now get yourself a bigger turbo O0

add some ducting to force air through the rad and you will be much better off.
it will just take the path of least resistance which is around the fins not through them
car looks 10000x better with the puke/shit colour over black. nice job.

thanks but honestly it runs on the cool side now so im not too worried about it

i love this car, new color owns, flat black sucks

any problems with the 225 width on the tires(did you mess with the fender)? was kinda wondering what i should go for when i buy new tires for mine. was thinking around 205-225 but not sure yet. supposibly my fenders are already rolled up a bit for wider tires because the previous owner had it droped all the way. still need to raise it some because it scrapes itself when theres to much wieght or big bumps.

I ran 225's on 15x7 Omni wheels, no issues at all..
-
No heat issue with the radiator on the manifold?
