Looks good, what a true DSM'er, the whole valve cover is full of tools. I swear that spot was made for that reason.

**Halon** · 02-12-2008

Ha, and I know the 10mm gear wrench is in that mess somewhere, I just cant find it damn it.

**JET** · 02-12-2008

Looking good B! That turbo setup is nice and clean.

A//// Guy · 02-12-2008

Awesome, ill definitely need a ride in that beast this year.

**scheides** · 02-12-2008

Looking good man! I'm pretty sure the evo's winter mods will not be able to keep up with ya now...

**Halon** · 02-12-2008

You say that like it used to keep up before.

haha j/k man!

turbotalon1g · 02-12-2008

311evo · 02-12-2008

looks like you have a sweet ass setup going.

carltalon · 02-12-2008

Looks awsome. Cant wait to see some dyno numbers.

I'm home for one day. My roommates camera is nowhere to be found, so I just snapped a quick cell pic. Got my new coupler in the mail, had to trim it a little but got it mated to the NT TB. Just need to get the right hardware to mount the TB permanently, then clamp the coupler on!

BTW, 2.5" couplers are a lil bit of a PITA to stretch over this TB for those who want to use this TB in the future. You can see it's stretched a bit over that TB. It took a combo of Dawn soap, some preheating of the coupler in the oven, and lots of stretching to get it on finally. And the pics are deceiving, the coupler is on there all the way to the tall tabs. The pics make it look like it's on there only a tiny bit. ANywho, just glad I got something done while I was home for 1 day.

Very Nice!

**Halon** · 03-10-2008

Also, received the LCD Ethanol display in the mail today. Thanks Merkzu.

TkrPerformance · 03-10-2008

looks good.
that is just like the one on the evo had to get it to fit it was a pain in the ass

**scheides** · 03-10-2008

Damn your new setup is coming together B....looks REALLY nice!

turbotalon1g · 03-10-2008

Badass man, i want to do that, i mean switch to an NT throttle body.

craig · 03-11-2008

That looks really nice Brandon, now if only you can stay home for awhile and finish the thing.

**Halon** · 03-11-2008

I'm seriouslly almost getting to the point of just paying a shop to finish it up while I'm gone, but I hate doing that because I want to do it myself and do it the way I want it done.

But at the same time, I want to be able to enjoy it this Spring/Summer/Fall, and I'm going to basically be gone until May, so I'm kinda in between about it right now.

DSM_421 · 03-11-2008

Do it your self Brandon, a lot cheaper and more satisfying. Plus then you know it was done right.

**Halon** · 03-11-2008

That's how I feel as well. BUT, again, the question is "WHEN?" I won't be home hardly at all until beginning of May. By then it's already time to be driving it around and enjoying it. And hell that's why I mod it, to enjoy it. But if I have no time to get it running to enjoy it, well then that's why I'm considering just paying someone else to get it going. I dunno...

FattyBoomBatty · 03-11-2008

Hey, if you have the means, I say have a shop do it. If I get a couple thousand dollars soon, I'll definately have a shop finish my quest. I've worked on it enough and it's not driving still, and I regret ever starting this huge project, and it seems like you are pretty close, so why not?
