well another update i pulled the whole exhaust off since it was still stock minus the cat. and started to bolt up the 3" dp then i'll have custom piping for the rest. i have the new o2 housing bolted up to the car. and all lines for the turbo put back on and oil in the motor again... i went to put my fans back in and notice that they are to deep to fit between the turbo and radiator so im looking for a slim fan... but here what it looks like so far... still trying to find a way to clean up the top but i have to get the car together so itll have to wait its hard to see but the elbow on the turbo hits the cover on the fan

well i yesterday i was finally able to drive the car out of the garage... i didnt expect the turbo to sound the way it did.. it was extremely loud... the whistle from it at least i wasnt able to get in to the turbo yet due to only have the down pipe on but i should have the rest of the exhaust on the car tomarrow...

pshh open downpipe is fun. a lot of that sweet whistling will go away once you have more of an exhaust on or atleast something to muffle it. congrats on getting it running again though

Yes open down pipe is good, but open o2 is better. I put about 1k miles on the white car with literally no exhaust. It was awesome! When I was making a couple pulls through Holland, people actually pulled off the road when they saw me coming! Later I went 3" oval with a side exit in front of the pass rear tire. Same exhaust I'm putting on the white awd this spring. I love the whistle of a dsm with no exhaust, sounds like a semi in traffic at low throttle.
