:
: Nice rear quartering shot. You can see the mounted turbo and the polished valve covers. Mike says that's Ford blue paint. Well... no accounting for taste, eh? lol j/p

:
: This is a comparison with the stock turbos. Note the difference in size between the compressor wheels. Also, the lack of wastegates. Mike has external wastegates with custom exhaust manifolds & DPs.

:
: Another nice shot of the turbos.

:

:
: The beast inside the car. Things to note:
: 1) Big-@$$ radiator.
: 2) Where is the battery? What's in the battery's place? (Answer: oil catch cans from the PCV system.
: 3) NOS line.
: 4) Extra sensor lead on metal water pipes.


:
: The catch cans and HKS Twin Power ignition module. He has 2 catch cans, one on the vacuum PCV system and one on the boost PCV system.

:
: Dangit! Can't remember what those solenoid-lookin' thingies are. Sorry!

:
: Okay, tilt your head for this one. Up is to the left. That's the external wastegate with the custom downpipe and test pipe going off to the right.

:
: Umm.. up is left again. That's like, the driver's side turbo with the steering linkage going under it. "Big whoop" you say. Yeah... not the most informative pic.


:
: Cool $7 tool to check camber with. Magnetic level.

:
: Mike's twin-POP system. Things to note:
: 1) Missing filter. LOL jk
: 2) New style HKS BOVs.
: 3) Custom low-speed drivability setup made by Mike. Don't remember the details, Mike if ya read this hook us up.

:
: LOL Up is left again. Guages. Oooh. Purty.

:
: More guages.

:
:
:
:
: The insides of a perfectly good tranny. I am not clear on how these things work. Would somebody well-versed in transmissions explain exactly what we're seeing here and how you shift & stuff?

:
: Nice interior shot.

:
: Hah! Found the battery!!!
: Other cool stuff Mike has includes a preluber that runs every 20 minutes! Drains the battery if you don't drive the car for 2 weeks. LOL But you can use it to drain the oil... and it runs for 2 minutes after you shut the car off to keep the turbos happy.. and it runs for 15 seconds before you start the car to 'pre-lube' it. Too cool!
: Dood also has Phillips HIDs...

: Mike, am I forgetting anything?
