Extra pictures, in about 2 weeks we will start runing this engine, it ran before turbocharged but now upgraded. Just finished to install the Air Temp sensor, Crank sensor, and some fittings for the MAP int he manifold, also i have to test the new oil filter adapter and install the braided hoses, changed the ingnition to GM truck independent coild, i will keep the EDis as spare part. Lots of work to do but nothing major. Regards

Hello friend,
Your car looks awesome, especially with the colour, is it possible to send me pictures of it to my mail abboseys@icloud.com . I would also want to upgrade mine to the similar or even the same specification.

One of the things about this project is that i have enough time to plan everything and look for the better parts for my car and budget.

I bought the Boost solenoid on ebay, this is the same solenoid that AEM sells but i got it near $100 cheaper, and yes have the 4bar map sensor.

The turbo its nice, not to big not to small. Fuel injectors i end up buying the Bosch Motorsports 750cc, because of things in the life i had a problem with my order and got 2 free fuel injectors, so i have them as spare.

The intercooler took me months to have it planed, i had this set up in a different way years ago, now i changed the radiator and the intercooler, wich i changed years ago with aftermarket parts.

Boost solenoid:

Boost Control Solenoid valve BCS MAC 35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA, turbo PWM EMS ECU | eBay

I got my MSIII 3,57 in DIYautotune.com and i might spend extra $600 in wire bundles and have the computer assambled etc,but honestly for me thats not a problem, i preffer to have someone with the skills and knowledge assambling the MS instead of paying a local electronic shop or do it myself, for me its not worth taking the risk, sounds weird but thats the way how things are were i am from.

Recently i just changed the oil filter base, i made my own filtering system with oil feed line to the turbo, the return goes directly to the oil pan.

The water line its quite an invention, the good thing its that i tested all this years ago and now i am improving everything, brand new parts and custom made.

I will post pictures of the advance of the project soon, i have been quite disconected in this forum for a while.

Attached there are some pics, any thoughts please let me know, i always appreciate the good comments and ideas.
