It's a CB Performance kit that comes with the turbo header, boost pipes, 48mm throttle bodies, manifolds and pressure hats. Overall it's a pretty good setup but if I did it over I'd go with a different turbo header like the one from DRD that has better wastegate placement.

How well do you find your oil cooler works in the inner fender, I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my daily.

It works very very well in the fender well, far better than over the tranny. But, I have noticed nicks from rocks kicked up by the tire, which would be less of an issue if you're not running R-compound tires The other issue/benefit is to get good air flow to the cooler you'll have to at least hole-saw/swiss-cheese the side of the engine bay but in doing so the fan on the oil cooler draws a lot of hot air out of the engine bay. I've also noticed slightly cooler head temps on that side when the fan is running.

Well I have a little more free time on my hands to iron out the bug, I am now among the 10+% of the unemployed in California. Got notice of lay off yesterday when I showed up to work, while my former boss was flying out of country. Onward and upward!

WTF, I am consistantly surprised when I hear this, but I guess that's what is going on... I'll keep my ears open for job opportunities that can utilize your skill set.

Well, since paint doesn't make it go faster, it'll be the last thing on the car. I do want to get it painted this year if possible, I'm tempted to do it myself here at the house.
