I did not make that lol I baught it Radio Surrounds, Sky its from DDM WORKS its actauly for a saturn sky but it fits, its metal and powder coated black, you can get it in a 2 gauge or 3 gauge setup its not cheap its $90+Shipping but it is a high quality part that is well worth the money

got the results back from the doc this morning no mono and the new meds work like a charm so you know what that means
on another note I started striping the Dejon intake and to my suprise under the red paing was black powdercoat and under that was polished aluminum im still going with the flat black look though

Just ordered valve cover oil cap breather, new injector rings, an LNF Intake Manifold Gasket an Exhaust Flange to weld to the downpipe from zzp then I ordered 8 x T-Bolt Clamp for 2.5" 2 x 3/4"(19mm) ID water hose, black 1 x Brass 3/4" Barbed to 3/4" Barbed Straight 1 x 2.5" Silicone Straight Coupler, Black 1 x Intake Pressure Tester, 3.0" 2 x Stainless Steel Intercooler Joiner, 2.5" 1 x T-Bolt Clamp for 2.75" 2 x Silicone Reducing Bends 2.5” from siliconeintake.com the TB flange to put the L61 TB on the lnf intake manifold comes in today or tomorrow from level zero motor sports, oh just wanted to through this out there usps lost my original tb flange from level zero motor sports and the people over at level zero motor sports sent a new one out without any hassle props goes to them for great customer service. And last but not least the drill bits to drill the block are also on their way so the only things I need now are things locally from auto zone which will be bought every other day in 20 increments so I can cash in on their rewards program and get $40 worth of free stuff

did some work on the flange today added a nipple to the cranke case hole and closed it up on the manifold side... hmmmm does that nipple look familiar? why yes, yes it does thats one of the nipples I ripped out of the turbo back on topic that nipple will conect to vac line conecting to the catch can and im going to add a breather filter onto the catch can

I also got my intake primed and ready for paint seen here next to the TB flange that came today and my catch can

also zzp and silicone intake orders shipped out so those should be here by end of next week
