Very cool. Did you find a source for the TRD boost gauge? I heard they were discontinued, but I wasn't sure. I got mine (white face) a couple of years ago.

Sweet. How's the Evo? I'm still debating it or the TRD muffler w/ 2.5" pipeing.

It's not that loud, low tone but I do notice more hp on the freeway. In my mind I wanted it to be growler, I'm still happy though because I can listen to my music without noticing the exhuast all that much. I dont think any po po's will give me a hard time. I have turned a few heads with my new exhuast :) :bday:

Jim's should have been done as soon as you went s/c'd. I agree with Mark above. The radiator being last. I don't remember if you had the 160 t stat but that is really worth it. Some water wetters for the coolant along with switching to 70/30 water/coolant as long as the temps are still above freezing. I went with a oil filter relo to where the battery was in conjection with the oil cooler out in the front behind the lower opening in the bumber. It feel good to know that I am cooling the oil. Lookin good though, keep it up.

about the gauge pod...
is it available somewhere?

if not, will those DEFI gauges that just have self-mount brackets do ok?

oh & nice mods... I'd go with some suspension work. Im really starting to get sick of stock.
