Re: My Winter Upgrades

Some more small updates.

The front bumper and the side trim piece that many have seen fell off my car awhile back, were both dropped off yesterday for painting at none other then Osseo's Maaco. They should be ready for me tomorrow.

I removed my TB and Kevbo is rebuilding it better then I did.

Also removed my compressor cover and brought it in to MAP. Kyle welded a 2.5" elbow onto it for me so I could ditch the 90* coupler and the hump hose couplers I was using. The welds look great, I'm real happy with it. This is going to make the lower IC pipe assembly fit a lot better then it used to. I had everything tightened as much as I could before, but was popping the couplers on the lower IC pipe off right at around 30psi. So getting the lower IC pipe to fit better was high on my priority list. I ended up just using about 8" of that diesel radiator hose that is often used as couplers, between the elbow and the lower IC pipe. It is a bit long, but I like it because it would have been hard to lengthen that pipe and still be able to get it down there easily.

Anyhow, that's it for now. If I get ahold of a camera I'll take some updated pics.
