Alright, this is going to be a rather large update. It has been some time since I have done anything to my car because I was incredibly busy. I taught 10th graders at a local middle school for three months and completed my final internship.
It was an amazing experience that I look back on constantly.
I then graduated from the University of South Florida with my degree in Secondary Social Science Education.
Due to all of this, I didn't want my car to be down. I held off on everything to make sure I could get back and forth to school everyday. I wasn't going to risk my degree over a turbo.
I then went on a trip to three cities. Boston, DC, and Nashville to experience American history first hand and party like crazy.
The trip was an absolute blast and something I will remember for the rest of my life. My Dad planned everything out and set me up for a vacation of a lifetime. I can't thank him enough.
Here is a picture of me in a bar in Nashville listening to a blues band. Mind you, I was very drunk that night.
Dapper, isn't it?
I got back from all of this and bought a KG works spoiler.... ooohhhh and aaaahhh
I then decided to install the turbo. I had to do it before the 15th because I'm finally moving out of the parents house. I wanted to have my toy ready so I wouldn't have to stress about it after.
It took 3 LONG HOT days to get this turbo in. As prepared as I thought I was; it still wasn't enough. Luckily I tapped my oil pan a week before so I wouldn't have to worry about that.
This car wouldn't be running if it wasn't for all the help in the local club. Shout out to Mr. Curry for all the help, space, and patience he had with me over the three days. He let me keep my car there and drive his car to work. Awesome guy.
The car runs ok as of right now. I'm not building boost as well as I would like and the car gets a little hot. But, it is running and driving! I'll try and get cooler, better pictures another time.
Good update I hope!
