I got a great deal on the mani. How do you like the full size battery with the intake. Every thing I read said you had to use a mini battery, or move it to the back.

That suprised the hell out of me! Pretty bada$$!! What kinda deal did you get on the manifold and what are your power goals on your set up?

If your talking about the magnus, he doesnt have a throttle body elbow. His UICP bolts directly to the throttle body. Gives you a better clearance.

I did have to modify the innercooler pipe.

Only thing I would suggest is moving the battery to the back. It's not too hard to do.

just remember that when u put the motor in your car that the fan on the drivers side of the car can't be left there b/c the external wastegate will be in the way, and from the looks of how far it's sticking out, i actually don't think it's even gonna fit in the car if you hav an aftermarket radiator.....but just a few warnings for ya since i kinda went through the same problems

Looks pretty good man, Ill be painting my whole engine bay and cleaning thing ups soon, when i replace my strut towers

I want your intake and exhaust manifolds! Looks good.

Looks great. I have been wanting to pull apart the engine bay to sand blast but just afraid of all the bolts that are ###### gonna break......

Looking good! Nice and clean engine bay

I wouldnt recommend sandblasting a vehicle. That sand can settle anywhere and rust out very quickly. It took about 2 months for sand to rust out my quarter panel. It wasnt worth fixing it was so bad. I tried to fix the rust once, it came right back. However, if you cover everything up well it wont be so bad. You should have used selfetching primer, then primer, then paint. Paint will flake off bare metal in some cases. If its done i would leave it, and hope it will be alright.
