Money hasn't exchanged hands yet so if you want to post up or PM me what you've got, I'd be interested to know for sure!

Actually there are some financial reasons for it, cost will be ABOUT the same... because I would more than likely put an ECU on there for a bunch of reasons, so now the cost is about the same to boost it. But now I don't have a hood, I'm not found of FMIC at all, EXPECIALLY with a stock sized turbo, so now I'm either going to need to find a TII hood, do a VMIC

or this SMIC turned w2a.... I like that idea the best. Definately the coolest and I get to experiment and play a little with what with essentially be a pretty bone stock car... by my standards anyway.

OK, so a good friend of mine sorta left his camera behind at my shop so I could transfer his pics... and damn does it take nice pics!!

Anywho... remember that lower fitting on the AST, well here is where it's plumbed into the radiator. As close to the top as I could get it. Any air that gets trapped in the rad during filling should be purged out through this line and into the AST where it'll be purged into the overflow. I must say, the whole thing works really well.

And here is the best license plate frame that I have ever owned. As per the new agreement, I need to display a MazdaSpeed logo somewhere on the car. The frame is awesome. Not only is it stainless steel... it has a really nicely laid out CF pattern, it has two rubber spacers for behind the bolts, it has a nice strip of rubber for the bottom of the plate, it comes with all stainless fasteners for either the rear machine threads or the front sheetmetal threads, there are a set of clear cup washers that are used with the caps to hide the fasteners.... I've only seen one other plate frame like this... and it's on my Mighty XJ

I'll look for the turbo/manifold this eve after work.

Will your mom keep up with keeping the H2O cold? if not wouldn't it be just hot air after a while? I thought W2A intercoolers were only suitable for drag racing could you enlighten me?
