Thanks a lot. Yeah a front lip will look good. We will have to see, right now im pretty focused on turbo parts and the fact that I wont have my car my first year in college makes me not want to do any more exterior mods cause my dad will be driving the car from time to time and im afraid he will forget he isnt drving his company car(POS chevy van) lol. But none the less a front and rear lip will eventually get on there.

Mini Update:

So cleaned the turbo a little up today, too the downpipe adaptor off, took the oil return flange off and cleaned it up(was really dirty in that area), and took the oil feed like out to clean the area. When i was screwing it back in i stripped the brass adaptor to the oil line, no big deal just have to get a new one, Think i need teflon tape or how ever you spell it to put on there so it doesnt strip again, starting stripping half way down, kinda weird... Also getting kinda worried about my injectors its been over a week and no injectors.....


Also need some advice,

1)Should I paint the hot side of the turbo to clean it up and give it a new look? I was thnking jus flat black.

2)Also should I get this inter-cooler and piping kit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT The piping doesnt really look like it will fit all that well, so im not sure if I should get it. $125 is such a good deal just need some advice first cause I could go with this one but its a little more but looks like less fab will be needed.

Please lmk it will be a big help.

From what I've heard the ebay intercoolers and piping arn't too bad. The only negative thing that I have heard is some of them have the fake chrome on the inside of the piping too which comes off very easily....... so ya If you bought it I'd clean that off first so you don't have that **** flying into your intake.
