Nice work, I like the graphics. Power steering delete? Did you make the hard pipes? Share some more details on the motor!

I can't tell from the pictures, but if the filter is behind the headlight, it's still a HAI.

Love the wheels, don't care for the stripe. It looks like you're still running the stock fuel lines - if you are, REPLACE THEM ASAP! Reroute them while you're at it.

Why the heat shield over the HVAC fans? Any pictures of the interior?

Looks to me that the filter is heading down to be inside the front lhs guard.
What are those rims? They look interesting and somehow different.

In traffic, yes, but not once you're moving. I put some digital thermometers on the hood latch and headlight support to see what temperatures were like underhood after I installed my Vitesse MAF because I was worried about sucking hot air. When you're sitting idling, it heats up quickly, but once moving, its not hot at all. I got readings right around ambient temperature. In fact, the metal on the headlight support and hood latch area were cold.

Very nice!

thanks for the comments, the air filter is in the fender. the heat shield on the HVAC is for one reason...the old cover was falling apart and it was all i had to cover it with .working on the fuel lines and coil overs car also sprung an oil leak from the o-rings on the oil seperater...figures one of the only set of gaskets i didnt replace...so im pulling the intake off and while im at it will do the fuel lines. im also waiting for my piggyback to arrive so it can be tuned correctly for the MAF.

all hard pipes were custom made by a speed shop in my area, they also did the custom exhaust. car runs pretty strong still has stock turbo, intercooler wastegate and injectors. i did a balance shaft delete, PS delete, adj boost controller, EGT and boost guages, venturi delete, maf with lindsey power perfect piggyback, guru chips, lindsey adj fuel pressure reg, and hv pump,crankcase vent system, lindsey silicone lines, MSD coil, and ALOT of replacing hoses and gaskets. How the engine sat in the top pic pluse bov and pipe associated with it, it did 234 to the rear wheels at 15psi at that time it only had the chips, bov with new pipe,exhaust, fuel pressure reg, and adj boost controller. the rest has all been done after that. it did 200 even stock with the muffler hanging off. waiting to install the piggyback before i hit the dyno again

interior for now is stock minus lindsey guage panel, short shifter and **** but it is in awsome shape! future plans are a momo wheel and a racing bucket...class rules dont allow for many interior changes, thinking about a harness and bar for it when i do the seat.

brakes have stainless lines, cooling ducts and PBR pads which have been doing well for what the car is used for.

waiting on a deal for some coil overs, strut bar and camber plates.
