MDB's Ultimate Money Pit

So not much of an update, parts are slowly starting to trickle in.

Got my intercooler kit in, Pettit added a few goodies for the delay, they had to wait and get the new turblown intake elbow to fab up the last charge pipe connection. they threw in a billet oil filler cap and some other goodies which was nice. pretty beefy at 17x12x3.5

Also got the turblown cast aluminum intake elbow. looks like a solid piece.

Got bored and decided i wanted to go black with much of the engine bay, not really a polished or chrome person. So whipped out the rattle cans and sprayed the upper manifold, throttlebody and elbow all satin black

Goign to do the charge pipes and core end tanks next.

sakebomb ignition kit is in the mail. so that will be next. Going to mock up the core and see if i can fit this antigravity battery somewhere in the engine bay so i dont have to run cables all the way to the trunk.

well i think ive officially bitten off more than i can chew at this point.

some more parts have trickled in since the last update,

replacement oil filter pedestal with provisions for oil press and temp sensors
fuel pressure sensor for the new fuel rail
and finally the new harness.

Harness is scaring the shit out of me for some reason. mostly because i hate wiring, but more for the fact that it doesnt look like a 1 for 1 replacement. theres a fuse box in it and all kinds of other shit. ive read the wiring diagram 15 times and still am not comfortable.
