I am looking around for a turbo still. I have been trying to get a hold of a guy on craigslist with a GT4082 but we keep playing phone tag.lol I am picking up another Ebay 67mm for helping a guy pull the head on his car but that one will only be temporary until I can buy a real turbo. I am just trying to look around and find a good deal. They are out there I just have to wait.

The sound does not bother me as much as the soot all over the passenger side of the windsheild. It will be a lot better when it is out the fender. What else do you do with 400hp+ other than let it breath like fire.lol

So because my turbo is gone I think I am going to pull the engine harness out and thin it a bit while I figure out what I am gonna do about a turbo. The next step will be the body harness and then the cage I am really not motivated to put the cage in right now. Its cold and I just don't want to.lol
Anyone on here removed any of the factory harness that goes to the stock engine and ecu I want to remove those wires but I am not sure where to start.

I am interested in where all the wires go from the ecu connectors I am not going to need any of them so I need to get rid of it. I can figure out the wiring in front of the firewall because I can chase it all down but I am not sure where it all heads to from the ecu connector. Do I need to remove the dash or what. I would also like to remove any of the airbag wiring I can but I am not sure where to really start on that either.

Yea that is pretty much what I was thinking. Take out the dash and everything behind it thats in the way then start at the ecu plug and trace back. I see a lot of razor blades in my near future.FML

This is the first car I have ever really done a huge build on and it is WAY more work than I could have imagined in the beginning. I don't mind it it is just a whole lot of work. When its all done and I am driving it everyday I won't care how much work it was.
