I have this posted on a local forum and figured i would share it here as well.
Bought the car back in 2010 from a guy in Indiana, Im in Kentucky btw. Anyway a quick rundown of the car when i got it. Motor was built at jnztuning back in 07, eagle/je rod/piston motor with bc 272s. Built and ported head also, im not gonna go into detail on that motor because it came out shortly after i got it.
A few pics.
Wheels didnt come with it :(
Image

Still had all the abs crap and everything.
Image

Turbo setup consisted of an AGP 50 trim that you see above (turbonetics compressor/mitsu hotside) with a dnp manifold, also ets 10.5 fmic. The car was going in the right direction when i picked it up. Already had the JNZ 7 gallon cell with aermotive A1000, 2 billet filters, aeromotive fuel rail, aeromotive frp, and precision 1050s.
Pics.

Being a street car at first i ditched the stock wheels and found a set of evo wheels a guy was selling locally. Also picked up a stock hood so i could do away with the cracked faded carbon one.
Image


So after about a year of driving it on the street i decided i was gonna pull the motor out and freshen it up. The motor smoked quiet a bit when i got it, a leakdown told me that cylinder one was leaking 85% past the rings.

Once i had the motor out i went on and removed all the abs stuff to clean the engine bay up.

While i had the motor out a buddy of mine ended up parting out his car, i changed courses and ended up buying his motor and transmission from him instead of rebuilding mine.

Motor in, also picked up a new valve cover and catch can setup.

I went with a budget manifold the first time around to try and save some money. Bought the t4 twin scroll manifold by dnp.
Image

Image

I ended up spending more money in the long run because i later ran across this. Its a true twin scroll dual wg jh racing manifold. Only bought the manifold and wastegates.
Image

Had a local shop fab up my dump tubes and dowbpipe.
