It has an edit tab with a resize button.

Fozzy,

You beat me to the punch. I was just about to post a link with the pictures.

Evltwin,

Thanks for the pictures - looks great, let me know how it's running in a couple of months. It's never too late to change my mind - However, that would leave me a couple of SC's to sell.

Anyway,

Good luck,

Glenn

Out of curiosity, where is the battery relocated on in those pictures of that C4 where the turbo seems to be located right where the bat should be. Also, I'm a newb to the turbo process: the heat sheilding is there to protect the turbo or the surrounding accessories? And I have to agree, that is one of if not the most impressive setup or improvision involiving placement of a turbo.

I am still able to use the removeable storage bin, and the battery is underneath. It remains very accessible. I have had it back about a month now. The only problem I have noticed is that the stock cooling system is not sufficent. It is running about 215 -217 F. Prior it ran about 180. HP ordered me a 3000 CFM Spal (?) dual fan and wiring harness. It will be wired to kick on at a certain temp and when more than 2lbs of boost are generated. I have noticed no difference in normal driving conditions. It runs as good as ever. There is one difference, I am getting 8 -9 MPG better than before.

Are you going off of the calculator on the dash? If you changed your injector size this calculator will be off, just a heads up.

It is off. But I have checked it the old fashion way as well.

that's awesome. My car gets about 11-12 mpg, so I can really appreciate that one.

Anybody else have anything going on???

a bit of mock up work.
having issues with shutting the hood. may try and cut out the hood support rails.

or may have the headers rebuilt and mount the turbos lower if possible.
still want to run my TO4B's vs the T4/T3 in the pics.
