Yeah it doesn't look finished but when its all done its going to look real clean.

A nice touch is the stepped stainless 90 degree bend going ot the throttle body. Most would have just used a 90 degree silicone coupler :P

I'm gonna take on the boo-birds for this, but WTF with the exhaust pipe routing?

It just looks way too complicated... and obviously the battery and other stuff was removed / relocated.

The header may look complicated but having equal runner lengths is the correct way to do things. The stepping is also quite mild, so its all good.

Yeah relocating the battery is an easy move and gives sooo much more room for a nice setup. Why spend hours figureing out how to route stuff when its at most $90 for a battery relocation kit.

I agree completely with the battery relocation as a handling upgrade / improvement, but I totally zoned on equal length being good for F/I. Meesa N/A guy, didn't know that :P

I'm sure it will haul ass.

that is probably one of the best locations for the turbo .. get it out in the open instead of trying to cram it all between the block and the rad.

that pretty close to where its mounted in the wrc focus if my memory serves me right ..

whos car is that?
