Wow Wiggz the turbo looks awesome!!!! I haven't driven mine in four I feel your pain.

Staring at this makes me wish I had a money tree to send them my turbo to be attacked.

Slow to update, sorry. Got more fuel parts here (Dwerks 750's and returnline) and a new diaphragm for my AGP WGA (this is my third :( ). Finished up the IC sprayer and got it wired up with a WOT switch. The bottle is 21 years old (did not even know), so it's being hydro-static tested right now before a fillup. Can't wait to try it out. I also added a little reminder of the SRT's roots...

Here's Derrick of LCR helping me put the car back together. Yeah, he's 'tarded, but he's learned to live with his handicap :rofl:

I'll get some more pics up later, including my "ghost" bracket for the CO2 bottle ;)


PS, if anyone can find me a 1st gen Neon badge I'll reward you greatly! I've been hunting for one with no luck :(

new or used 1gn badge? and do you mean "neon" font or the hood ram's head badge?

The word "neon". Eitehr way is fine. I know they aren't very easy to remove without destroying them. I'm just gonna paint it though, so I don't care if it's light purple or pink or anything.

I want someone's old emblems so I can do the cool "Z0MG" or something epic. Wiggz, the wheels you shipped me haven't shown up yet. Did you even take them off your car? :rofl:

hmm.... I might have one. my dad snagged me a turquoise one when I was little. I'll have to look for it :smile:

Adam, you already know I've done that!

That dude is tarded, he is putting the wrong type of coolant in your car. :lol:

I bought a used AGP S3 WGA and after a week or so I did a boost leak test and it was leaking like crazy. Supposedly the rod was bent and the diaphragm was bad. AGP fixed it for free. 3 times...damn.
Maybe go with ptp's unit? There is a local running it on his s3 setup and he likes it. (off PCM control)

I too plan on going return style soon. Too many inconsistancies with S3 system.

Are you going to remain on PCM controlled boost or off?

by wiggyx
I'm off PCM. On the DTEC FC/BC

I got the AGP fixed once for free. I don't really get why they have so many issues (at least mine). LCR actually swapped the rod for me while it was there. It was slightly bent, so they tossed in a stainless part instead :thumbup:

The returnline is in and I've got a base tune on there now. Haven't had a chance to get on it yet. I'll post some pics in the next day or two. I've been slacking in that area :lol:

Added some more lighting. I forgot how much I hate taking apart and re-assembling Neon lamps.

Image

Some LED strips and a cubby light care of Crystal

Image

Mounted the sprayer to the IC instead of the fascia and repainted the IC while I was at it.

Image

Got a few more visual mods in teh works too...

I like the lights alot but something about the all red interior lighting makes me feel like im driving a newish pontiac...

But your the one paying the bills on the car so if you like it, thats all that matters. :thumbup:

nice job! cant wait to see the headlights and fogs in!

Thanks guys!

dtjackten, It's a hodge-podge kit. I had the bottle from forever ago, so I had it re-valved for CO2. A buddy had some of the hardware sitting around, so I picked it up for almost nothing. Then I just needed to wire it up and add switches :thumbup:

I'll try and snap some pics of the lights tonight. I hastily wired them up yesterday cause I was just dying to see them installed. It's definitely mean looking :)

What's going on in May Nate? :rofl:

Wiggz looks awesome! I have mine mounted to the IC too, I just have to re-plumb everything I didn't like how it was run. I love the demon eyes but I'm partial :D

Thanks, C! I had it mounted to the leaf guards, but that made removing the front end a PITA. This looks cleaner anyway :)

Finally got to the dyno and put a decent tune on it. Put down ~350 on a Mustang dyno. I'm pretty happy with it. Gonna get a high octane tune pretty soon. I've never even touched high octane mode on the turbo toys.

Also made a tranny/battery tray cover after relocating the batt (was running out of room in the engine bay).
