Update 2011-10-05 - I decided to strip out the computer setup I had. It was very cool but it started to become very impractical. So I wound up putting in a Pioneer AVIC receiver Double Din with NAV. Basically a multimedia center that had everything that I needed without the headache and it sounds awsome! Also so far no problems with the eBay Turbo. I can tell you that it runs pretty nice on the highway when trying to climb hills. Due to the heat generated by the turbo I will be replacing the radiator to a GodSpeed all metal one. I was noticing that the coolant was boiling out causing slight overheating issues. Since stock radiators just plain suck ass it was time for a new one. guess where I got it?? you got it right eBay! Update 2009-11-02 - Well I finally got her finished. I uploaded some pics of the engine with her new turbo. I may have some issues with the Blow Off Valve because it does not sound right so we shall see I may get a new one. Other than that the bumper does not fit because of the turbo but she is back in the business of getting me back and forth to work so I am happy :) Also pretty soon I will be making a How To with pics for the noobs that cant figure out how to install one to a stock motor. Update 2009-10-12 - I got some new pics, although she looks dirty. So far I got the some of the wood kit in and while I was working on the dashboard stuff I took the cupholder from a 98 and put it in cuz I like the flip down lid (It looks nicer). I also started to put some of the turbo stuff together so I added some more pics let me know what you all think about the wood and the project. I cant wait to take her home. Update 2009-09-28 - I ordered a turbo so It should arrive soon. I just got a question for all you guys out there. How far can I boost with my stock cam and ECU for now? Also later on I wanna change my stock cam. I'm not sure what brand and what stage to buy. I am not looking to race if anything my horsepower needs are 300HP Max. I am gonna be running low boost for now.Until I get a CAM and injectors and chip for ODBII. I would love any comments and especially suggestions as I am new to this. Thank you all in advance. Update 2009-09-20 - I got all the pictures up and deleted the crappy ones. Check it out let me know what you all think. The leather seats covers are actually comfortable. :) Update 2009-09-18 - I finally got some really nice factory looking leather seat covers that look awsome and hard to tell if the car came factory with leather or not. Tomorrow I will post them up so you can all see the Ghettoness. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She has been with us since 2004... Ghetto as Ghetto Can Be And I am not ashamed of it. :) I like to call her my "The Ghetto Sleeper". She has a D16Y8 and I am looking to improve the Ghettoness. I bought some new wheels and lights. My dad polished the hell out of her. Thank You!!! Pretty nice huh? ^^^^^ Let me know what you all think of her.
