Thanks fellas! I'm considering doing a few pulls on a dyno with the Voodoo just to get a baseline, waiting to see if any local shops host a dyno day now that the weather is nice.

Wow, Eric. It is looking fantastic! I had no idea to got all the turbo stuff on already!
Thanks Dallas! The kit arrived and got installed with about only 5 people knowing, at least up until The Mitty that is.
Performance Coatings in Jonesboro. They come very highly recommended and they did great work for me.
I ordered some special center cap inserts from Adam to support my inner nerd. This is what I started with:

The old inserts had some heavy duty adhesive and were reinforced quite well, I think there might be a thin metal in there, they were really tough to remove and clean off:

New insert in place, fits well with the 6 points on the center cap itself:

And in place on the wheel:

Very clean install.
I haven't updated this in a while, but not much has changed as I'm simply daily driving the car. It's been almost a year turbocharged and no issues to report so far, I'm still just running the Voodoo and 7 psi and loving it.
I got the Retro NB Window Switches from Adam over the weekend and yesterday was able to work on the install. I was initially worried that they were not going to be compatible with my D-Techniques console because of how deep the switch body is and how it mounts but they actually fit great! Anyway, onto the pictures!
I opened the box and removed the upper layer of the bomb proof packaging and saw this. The bag simply says "NB", it's only two letters but I know that they're very significant as far as Adam's product offerings are concerned. This is a big deal and it's been a long time in the making:

The rest of the needed installation goodies, a Hi-Chew candy (yay!), cards, stickers, and a little Xoddo figure:

Mocked up in my old NB1 console, all went well here:

And their final home in the D-T console:

That's all for now...
WOW Eric that looks wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!
That does look great!
With your console, do you have the passenger airbag disconnected, switched off, or is it on?
Never seen that NB console before. I love it.
Thanks Anthony!!!
The airbag is still functional, the switch for it is just tucked up under the center console. The downside to that is that the airbag can't be easily switched off or on, but that's not a concern for me, so it's always on.
It's made by a company called D-Technique. They aren't cheap (I think they are/were 70,000 JPY from D-T), a friend of mine bought this one "used" off one of the forums from a gentleman in Australia and couldn't use it in his project so he gave it to me in exchange for some car help. It's easily one of my favorite modifications in this car!
Eric, it's looking great!
Your car sucks. Your window switches suck. Your console sucks. Your turbo badge sucks. You suck.
This hate was brought to you by Envy(TM).
Thank you sir!!!
