    Here are a few more pics.

    This is the blowoff valve. I replaced the one that comes with the kit. Not that anything was wrong with it, I just wanted "louder". I want people to know that I'm turboed. So I installed a Turbo XS RFL one. Its one of the loudest blowoff valves on the market. RFL satnds for "Really F--kin Loud".

    Here is a pic of the piggyback ecu being wired in. You can also see the filter and intercooler piping that comes up and runs in front of the battery. And yes, all wires will be mesh loomed, taped, and hidden.

    Looking good man! Most the guys that I knew with RFL BOV's replaced them after a few months. They get real annoying real fast. Personely I went with a Tial 38mm, it was loud enough for me. But with it down in your fender were it is, it will most likely be better sounding than the top of the front of the motor on the Eclipses :D

    TURBO IS COMPLETE!!!!!!!!

    First let me say, that after everything was ran and wired, the car started on the first crank. No eratic idling or anything :D I was scared to death when I turned the key. But nothing but good things. :D

    I just spent the last hour driving it around and having the piggy go through the learning phase. All I wanted to do was just mash on the gas :twisted: but I was good. Its a very long process but required on new turbos.

    The process:
    - 10-15 minutes at idle checking for any leaks, rubbing, and over all weird noise. No reving.
    - Drive car for 15-20 minutes keeping RPMs below 3000. Man this was hard :twisted:
    - Stop car and check for leaks, ect again.
    - Now time for boost :D . I did about 15 minutes of pulls up to 4500 rpms. This was really hard because the car pulled so freaking hard, I was looking at the road instead of the tach. Sometimes I went to about 4800.
    - Stop car and checked one last time for leaks, ect. None were noticed but light was limited. I'll check again in the morning.

    First drive impression: HOLY CRAP!!! I give it a butt-hole factor of a 5 out of 5. Seriously......
    I started noticing the boost kicking in right around 2500 rpms. Which is perfect for my style of driving. I have noticed that I launch (prior to turbo) decent at about 2000 rpms without a lot of wheelspin or hop.

    Car is also now quieter. Weird. Except when the BOV releases. :D

    Pics will come tomorrow.

    I'm sure you guys/gals have lots of questions, so please, ask away.

    Road Race already has YouTube videos out with Rob or Brian driving. I'm pretty sure they are better drivers than me when it comes to this. But I'll post videos anyways so everyone can laugh at me.
