So that means time to start buying parts and building up the car. Here is the first installment. Next will be the turbo kit

the total was $400 for the kit. Im gonna be running a t3/t4 46 trim turbo with a 38mm wastegate VTA. And possibly EMS, but i havnt really decided on that one yet.

Yea for the paint i am having the car re-wetsanded, adding another coat of clear, and wetsanded again in the spring. So that will be taken care of then. Im hoping to have the car done by then with the upgrades so that once its out of the paintshop it will be good to go for the summer

Not really peel, just went super faded.

So it was the clear coat that faded, and not the paint?
