So boost gauge is acquired. Ill hook it up tomorrow hopefully and see where I'm at for boosts!! Just need to figure out where to mount it. It's kind of a bigger gauge so I don't want it to stand out to much.
So the build has been discussed with Mikey and we've decided what ill be doing.
Vf39 turbo
Front mount with custom tubing made by Mikey
Sti injectors
Dohc na heads
Robstune
3 inch turbo back exhaust.
Ill need to think about the wheel and tire situation for a bit. I kind of like the stock 15 inch wheels for the sleeper effect but Id like a decent set of 17s also. Decisions.... Anyone want to trade!!

You should do some suspension work before putting 17's on it. I had 17's on mine with stock height and I thought it looked pretty goofy. I think the 16" snowflakes found on the second gen 2.5gt look great on a SS especially when painted gold or bronze. If you wanted to stick to a 15" wheel I have a set of the somewhat rare five spokes that came on my first SS many years ago.

Plus if you keep to 15" or 16" wheels you can keep it more sleeperish
We figure with all those mods it would be around 280 whp which is fine with me for awhile.
Maybe I will swap my rs bilsteins/eibachs over to the ss and figure out a new platform for the rs.
Rims are last on the list right now anyways so plenty of time to get it done, well almost... Plan is to be done before wbm

I think you should keep the outside completely stock looking to be diff. Then the rest

Very jealous Matt! I like the idea of leaving it mostly stock looking, just tint and make it pristine on the outside!
Yea I'm thinking so to but I'm always changing my mind so who knows.
Boost gauge is ghetto installed. Didn't have time to make a mount or even figure out where to permanently mount it so its chillin on the dash next to the pillar. On the ride home it would pull pretty easily to 11 lbs. Hit 12ish at one point and fuel cut. Boooo. Needs a bigger turbo.

How does it compare to the RS power wise right now, just out of curiosity?

I went for a ride last night and it goes good! I would say it would give a stock bugeye a pretty good run. Looking forward to see the transformation!

They both have 165hp stock, ss has alittle more torque.
