here's some pic updates. some of my powder coated piping. (left to right) custom 3.5" MAF tube, inlet pipe with BOV recirc fitting, and BOV pipe with flange. all the rest of the pipes are powder coated satin black as well. the second pic is my Samco urban camo silicone radiator hose kit.

all the parts i got are scattered throughout this thread. some of them are not needed but i got them as an upgrade to the stock greddy kit and the supporting mods i thought that would make my car a little more reliable.

me and g3tr3ddy2gr3ddy started the install thursday. unfortunately i had no internet to post the progress until today.

thursday:
got a lot of stuff pulled to make room. pulled the battery/tray, airbox/intake, radiator, bumper, exhaust manifold, motor mount, trans brace.
installed Agency Power underdrive pulley/belts, mounted 2nd oil cooler.
found out one of my Samco radiator hoses is the wrong shape.

friday:
started off going to buy more supplies.
installed heat shielding, 2nd oil cooler lines, turbo/manifold/DP, motor mount, Sohn's OMP adapter.
found out i got a BHR MT radiator instead of an AT radiator.

sorry i didn't have time to get any pics of the progress.
