    The product I use the most is the Wolfgang, and a day or 2 after I'll follow with some Pinnacle. I try and wax the car at least once a month, but if I'm feeling a little OCD I'll put a coat on in between lol. I also use the poorboy's world tire shine on my tires..that stuff is awesome

    haha well actually, as ridiculous as it may seem, I actually drove maybe 10 feet onto that dirt road just to get the pictures. I was on my lunch break at work, and my car look too pretty to pass it up LOL

    haha yes you do see an intercooler! The car is my daily, so I am not finished installing the turbo. My b/f and I are building a custom kit for the car, so we are all done with the bracketry, and are starting on the piping. I am hoping for it to be done within the next month or 2.

    Here are a couple pictures. Please disregard my engine bay LOL. It is a mess and a work in progress...There are also going to be some changes coming along with the turbo kit. The timing adjuster you see on the crank pulley is now gone, and the factory coolant reservoir is going to be replaced with a modified Canton reservoir.

    I like the mystic intake it really make the engine bay look purdy. I dream of being boosted some day. But I'll go with a self contained blower like the KB. Us 94/95 guys don't have as many options as the older 5.0's do. But if/when Vortec comes out with a self contained blower for us I'll go that route to keep under hood temps down.
    Do you plan on any hi temp ceramic coating any of the pipes?

    nice! I definitely won't go near anything but a turbo after riding in my b/f's turbo car. My car had a blower on it when I first got it, and there's nothing like the feeling of a turbo.

    I'll definitely be coating everything. I am doing all of the hot side with Stainless, then I'll take it all to get ceramic coated...my dilema is what color I am going to get it all coated LOL

    Thanks everyone! Figured I'd show you all a better pic of the powder coating in the engine bay...those turbo pics were taken with a crappy camera and give it no justice :P lol





    I just want to say thanks all for the wonderful welcome. Reading through all the threads I'm learning new things already!
