Congrats on the turbo. But it looks small? Are you cutting the bumper or getting a new one? I'm pretty sure it's not a big enough hole to breathe. But I may be wrong.

You've been at this for almost a year now? Looks like your getting pretty close. I'll bet your just itching to get this done!

I laughed when I saw the spectre reducer in the pic above. I bought a few elbows and straight couplers from silicone intakes for my procharger installation but realized I needed 2 reducers as well. I found 2 of them I think they were 3.5 - 4 inch at advanced auto and they were only like $10 each. I'm sure silicone intakes is better quality but I didn't have to wait for them and it saved me like $20.
