Great call. When you eventually get a different car, it makes life much easier. No one wants a car with hacked up wiring. This is such a clean build.

I also look at this as I'm building the car not just a FI kit.

Fuse box installation tested functional. Nice to see some signs of life from the car, even if it is just beeps and lights.

I'm curious to see where you installed/routed that fuse box.

It's mounted in the engine bay next to the brake master cylinder. I made a bracket to hang it off the strut tower. I quickly realized I was going to need a separate place to pass wires through the firewall so I drilled a hole and installed a rubber grommet. That's just to the inside of the factory pass through.

This has to be hands down the cleanest and most presentable turbo build I've ever seen. You need to seriously consider selling a kit

The entire reason it's clean and presentable is it's not from a box. When I starting I was wondering what it would take to make it a kit but it would be a huge kit and not many people will take the time to install it the way I have been building it.

Not to bash on the kits out there they are just not for me.

Crazy fab work you do! I'm definitely keeping my eye out on this build.

FI>NA · 02-13-2014, 02:38 PM

Well done sir. I appreciate your build, thanks for sharing.

mrk1 · 02-13-2014, 03:18 PM

vacuum manifold mounted, really having a hard time locating these where it looked ok and was accessible.

Grommet I installed in the fire wall. Not to much fun punching a hole in the car but it was needed. I will put some sealant around the grommet when Im done fishing the wires through.

Fishing wires through the fire wall has always been something I hated doing so this time I added this designated grommet.

Nice, looks clean. And there's room for more just in case.
