yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:

Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design
Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now!
Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later.
Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it.
I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong
I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room
I'm relocating the battery to the trunk
and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX

that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week smile.gif after 6 months of down time!

if you buy all the parts, buy me a plane ticket, pay me for all the time I take off work, and pay all my necessary expenses such as housing and food while I'm down there, and sure, I'll come put yours together wink.gif

meh, $600 tops on airfare, $150 for me to take 3 days off work, and maybe $400 tops for me to have a hotel and food for 3 days, so $1150 for a turbo install in 3 days, provided you have all the parts, that's less than what a shop would probably charge for this kind of install.
