Project DDoS: '99 "Budget" boost build
 

Project DDoS (Daily Driver on Steroids) is a project car a friend and I decided to pick up so we could work on and build up. The plan is to have a daily driver on boost making 200-220 WHP by the end. This thread will serve to chronicle our progress on the build as well as document some things to hopefully make it easier for others to follow. We wanted a balance between cost and build quality, so we won't always take the cheapest route - it's more about bang-for-the-buck than it is being the absolute cheapest.

The car is a 1999 5 speed with LSD that was bone-stock when we picked it up. It had several TLC and basic maintenance projects that needed to get done before the fun stuff could begin.
