It adds to the mystical aura surrounding the man and his car -- much like those old grainy clips of Big Foot walking through a campground.

Looks good though -- and congrats!

When are we going to see some dyno numbers and good video? I'm curious to see what this thing will make on pump gas, and what boost you'll safely run.

Jims car is the anti-bling of the board. Good thing is that it has other qualities.

And I second the camera comments.

Do you have any under-hood ducting working for the hood vent?

Come on by, Mike.

Anything with a BIG turbo is cool with me! I'm just glad Jim finally got an intake setup on there worth a damn! j/k There's nothing like the pull of a big turbo on the top-end. All the guys who are looking for ultra-responsive turbos don't know what they are missing! Now, back to my regularly broadcast station.....Nissan blah blah blah sr20 blah blah rb26 blah blah blah DOHC heads blah blah.........
