993 Project (back to school update)
Hey pelicanites,
Unfortunately I didnt find much time over winter break to work on the car. Heres a little look into what I've been doing. Car in its current state:  ITBs test fitment for plenum fabrication.  First look of the full hot side of the turbo system mounted.    Bracket for the turbo.  I'll be mounting the intercoolers (started that today), fabricating the intake plenums and some ducting this MLK weekend.

Yeah how about some history and numbers to go with that pictures. But I really want to know how many trial and error times it took to get the car to sit like that on stands.

Very good work! Keep it going!
There is one thing though: I'm very sceptical about placing and choice of air-filters. Those "swamp style" filters are hardly effective when it comes to purification and your position will make them suck heaps of dirt. It would be much better idea to run turbes up to engine compartment and connect them to filter there, where the can suck clean and cold air. It would be preferable if you can adopt some sort of paper filer, but I guess it will be somewhat cramped there once the intercooler comes into place.

The air filters should be fairly well protected from dirt, water and debris by the plastic fender liners, I'd think.
I too wonder how loud this beast is while running.

That is extremely hot, can we get a couple more update pictures?
I think the filters would be fine if there was somesort of sheild for them, my main concern would be water clogging the filters and stalling the car. That is if you can drive it in the rain...
