.......... because i took out my AC today!
finally had enough of it. I need to wrap up this project that is taking me months and not having to work around the AC is going to save me considerable time. So i had it drained and then yanked it out. Hell i never use it anyway. Then i decided to do some more test fitting and took pics. Now i just need to get about 2 feet of pipe for the IC, another 2 for the DP, make that bastard 5 bolt flange, and then make it all work.

the aftermath

almost there. Look at my purdy tial 38mm wastegate. Fucking thing clears the hood by about a half inch! I'm also going to have a small dump tube hooked up venting into the open
stay tuned
