Working on wiring. I hate it. So I stopped.

Finished the coolant reroute. Tapped the oil pan for turbo drain. No reason to not reinstall it and start hooking things up. Passenger side is tight but enough room to fit everything. Plenty of room for the turbo on the driver's side. Going with a TD04 from a WRX.

These guys will be racing this car in the 100 Acre Wood in MO pretty soon. (If any of you remember forum member "modernbeat", that's his car).

The Rally America event, Rally in the 100 Acre Wood is coming up in a few weeks. If you are anywhere St Louis you should come out and see rally stars and chumps competing in this event. Billed as "real cars, real roads" it is one of the best rallys in the US.

I'll get some when I pull it back out. It's basically a flowish log like I built for my NB a couple of years ago and like sturovo is building now with one extra el to top mount it. I didn't have room or side mount the turbo with the SAAB inner fender there and I have plenty of hood clearance plus the top feed intercooler it's easy in and easy out.
