Did you mount the manual boost controller inside the car?

Been really busy lately, will hopefully post some more pics tonight.

Manual boost controller is inside under stereo.

Had to do some mods. Eliminated the hard coolant pipe in the end and I'm waiting for a fan from Broadfoot racing.
Bought AC delete bracket.

Yes. I want to have ac for sure but for now I'm just running with an ac delete. I bought a complete ac kit from Zims but will need the smaller alternator. Things are way to tight with the stock alternator. I just figure for now I will just run the delete kit and mess around with setting up the updated ac later.

I decided just to delete that AC. I must agree that with the factory alternator, things are WAY too tight in there for all the appropriate plumbing...

Car looks great in the previous photos BTW, you motivated me to do far more than I intended with my engine bay!

Getting things finished is painful though, its taken far to long but I can't stop now.

Wife's still with me so I guess I've done ok

My wife wants to kill me over my 951. It might be how we use the entire house (kitchen table) as our work area.

Wow! I love what you've done with the exhaust and intercooler piping. What a amazing build you have going for you. Looks badass!

Good choice on the tires, I have those on my Audi. Excellent grip, quiet and smooth riding.
