DIY kit not done, but it's ready to start. Sneak peak of my set-up too .. YouTube vid
My sis has the video camera, which SUCKS, I guarantee it's just sitting there too.. Anyway here is a short, bad-quality vid of the first start-up. Because I'M excited. I'm using my $149 Gateway digital camera. It's a little "amateurish."

Hah! yeah, open d/p. The sucka won't line up with the studs coming off the turbo. Think I'll just loosen the turbo, attach d/p, then tighten everything up real fast.
We'll see what happens. It still needs a few things before it's ready to rock.

Kind of a necessity since my maf adapter is so long, but it should provide a real difference, especially since my intercooler is maybe not the most efficient thing in the world. I'm a real believer in the turbo CAI, so i'm going to try and make it work. (I'll probably end up with two intakes, switchable depending on conditions)

I don't want water to get sucked into the intake, so if I were to be out for a while, or a trip or whatever, I would want a normal intake. The only reason I'm playing with the idea is because it's a non-daily driver. And it looks cool :gay:

The timing on the video is messed up. Not that it really matters.
