Clean! Love the color but I’m biased

Was the TB hard to do?

Thank you, it's a 20 foot paint job, it definitely has its flaws that need to be fixed .

Not at all, it took maybe an hour taking my time making sure everything was clean and free of gunk. The most intimidating part is the springs but I watched Jafro's youtube video and it wasnt bad at all.

Swapped in a black dash and center console from a 99. I had swapped the vents on the panels over to see how it looked so it wouldnt be all grey. It's alright but the flow from dash to door abruptly going from black to grey bothers me. Ill swap over the fabric to the black panels when I get them. Working on getting black door panels and rear plastics now.

Wide band and controller installed, along with a turbo timer.

Been a while since I updated this. Got timing belt, pulleys, and water pump done. Valve stem seals replaced, swapped in some evo 8 springs and retainers while I was there. Then started buttoning everything up. New hoses and Vacuum lines and gaskets everywhere. I bought some oem gaskets and then some gasket material and traced them out and used them instead since the oem gaskets are getting discontinued left and right. Now I got to get a BLT done and start dialing in the tps and throttle cable and do the wideband calibration.

1st idle log after resolving boost leaks. I forgot to plug in MAF when I started to capture and realized it around 600 second mark.
