Here are some pics of my intake pipe, engine bay, AFPR, a box of $h!t that needs to be installed including my CDI, battery isolator, and -6 AN fuel line from the filter to the rail, as well as my back seat removed.. just random stuff.

Looks pretty clean.. Whats up with that manifold? Is the wastegate part just blocked off?

Its the SBR exhaust manifold. I don't know whats up with it. The manifold and the spacer are rusting up pretty bad and its starting to **** me off. I think its because of all the humidity here. My headlights never fogged up until I moved here either. The manifold has a flange for an external wastegate, but because I'm not running one its just blocked off. Rob, I don't know what my numbers are. I've never had it on a dyno. I was planning on going on friday, but I had to replace my axle/ drive shaft seals and I didn't trust it enough to drive on it. Thanks for the comments guys, I'll keep everyone posted on future installs.... namely that box of crap sitting on my front seat.

Any type of fuel controller or engine management? You might want to consider a wideband gauge in teh near future also.

Safc-2, Maf translator, AEM UEGO Wideband guage and controller, AEM Tru-boost. The car wouldn't run unless it had some form of fuel control brother

I don't know either. It looks like crap though. When I first bought it, it turned rainbow color because of the heat, but since I've been here, it and the manifold spacer (bought it from buschur) have rusted. Anyone have any suggestions to fix it? I can't use chrome polish on it because the polish is flammable. I don't want to just use steel wool, because it will just rust again. I can't even spray it with anything. I think the only option I have is to cover it up with heat wrap. At least that will serve a purpose and cover it up as well.
