Test fit the GTX, fits great

With my turbo placement I can still fit a full size filter.

This thing will be running soon I swear,

To-do list is almost done.

Also made a 3" over pipe for this front pipe. Should help make the power.

The over pipe is a real pain to make

So when will all these mrk1 products be available to the market?

Lol, seriously though, I can't wait for your build to be back running. It's by far the cleanest, most custom one out there.

great googly-moogly! them pipes are purdy.

mrk1 · 02-28-2014, 02:51 PM

I can't say anything here about selling, don't want to end up axed like KAB.

The build is really getting down there. I just called today for some quotes on ceramic coating. The manifold/turbine housing/down pipe/ over pipe will be going out.

Holy mother of builds, this is just great work. Have amazing skills there. Can't wait to see whats next.

Build looks great!

Have you test fit the overpipe?

do you have any more pics of this? I've been trying to figure out if it's worth my time to do this or not....

A friend made this for me, its a strip of this hard foam type material molded to the rear glass. There is a recess that has the LED strip in it. He has made a few more I think.

You gonna do a heat shield for the turbo? I've seen some of pics of molten fan shrouds on the front mount turbos. Tho usually on track duty cars.

I'd be very interested to know more about this. I've seen someone else who did an LED strip like that, but I'm liking the foam idea. Does it just stick on with adhesive or it is fastened with the headliner or...?

Now the only problem is the rear deck cover. I think PasswordJDM has a nice CF piece ($$$), but I have a feeling you'll just whip something up instead.

Pretty much a dead horse at this point. If they fail I will deal with it. I'm sure I can catch a problem before they melt down like a wax candle.

All the hot side parts will be ceramic coated. I have been getting a few quotes on where to send them too
