LIST OF MODS Camtech stage 3 cam 420cc Porsche injectors 500hp Jatco 3spd + O/D, manual valve, 3500rpm stall AVO Stage 2 intercooler Link ECU Malpassi fuel reg Bosch 909 fuel pump 28 spline diff with limo and 4.1:1 gears 3inch exhaust with highflow cat Quote: Originally Posted by CHRGD6 Straight up man that engine bay looks fantastic, the colour coding is killer, it's going to look macco when it's all back together. Just out of interest though, why bother using an AVO cooler which is EPA compliant, a low mount turbo, the standard injectors and a relatively standard motor only to turn around and switch to an aftermarket ECU? It seems like you've gone out of the way to make it EPA compliant and street legal, but have reverted to the Link and negated all that? Not putting **** on you man, just curious? The car looks sick, definitely a 'less is more' build. Thanks man. I chose to use a Link because eventually I'll be upgrading the turbo, also so the car runs properly - tuned safe.

Looks nice. You should sand the colour of the "AVO" so it matches the rest. And i also agree about the booster. It'd look 10 times neater if you painted it. Otherwise, good job
