dirtyboost 1.6 homebrew

heres the deal, its my first build, and its a smidge ghetto. I spent just over 1100, including an extra t3 and injectors. its just a basic sr t25 and band aid build, with the addition of a saab bar and plate i/c. i have a wideband for tuning, but im waiting on a fuel pressure gauge before the fuel is worked out. I cant wait until this thing is up and boosting. if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks to Joe Perez for the pre build help and my roomate bill b.

looking good... I'm tempted to weld a bunch of my old license plates together and make a full heat shield. seems like a fitting use for the scrap material.

those are painted on AKs, not stickers

Downpipe and mani were purchased from bell for under 200 bucks, t25 cost me 80 bones too. i/c is a saab and runs under the rad
