I believe this is right, horn or part of the car alarm.

 

I removed mine when I installed a strut tower bar and my horn still works so it must be the alarm horn

 

hmm dont think its the alarm. i know this because i lost my key fob and every time you lock the doors from the button inside it arms the alarm. only way to stop it is the ignition trick.

Pretty sure its not the horn either because i know the horn still works.

Reason i ask is because im going to install a strut tower brace and i think its going to have to come off

 

Alright last night i made some more progress.

-Removed stock turbo

The oil drain line located directly under the turbo is a B*#$H to say the least, Bending the hard oil line on the top of the turbo was also a bit stressfull, but with the help of a heat gun things seemed to go pretty smoothly.

In other news i got the V7 scoop, looks awesome. Still debating on if i want to cut the USDM sti splitter top fins off to fit under the scoop so i can retain the use of the grommit that sits on top of the TMIC, or if i want to just keep it splitter-less.

The plan for today is to get the old injectors out and the pinks in, possibly if i have time put the Group n sti pitch stop mount in too....................STAY TUNED FOR MORE

 

update

Got the injectors in and back behind the green brackets.

waiting on some new gaskets for the turbo / up pipe before i go any further.

 

You actually reinstalled those PITA things. hahah I left mine off.

 

aha yea i seriously considered leaving them off but the driver side one has the crankcase vent hose fitted to it and i thought ahh why not.

I also got some more goodies in the mail yesterday.
-Cobb after maf hose
-Samco radiator hoses
-New gaskets for the turbo
-Hallman mbc

Things should be wrapping up soon hopfully.

Stay Tuned for more updates.....

 

Anyone have any tips for getting the turbo inlet hose back on the turbo?

I can drop the turbo down onto the up pipe, setting the oil drain line where it needs to be, but it seems near impossible without damaging the inlet hose to get in on.

 

Last night made some more progress.

Completed
-Installed airbox, coolant resivior, snorkle
-installed mbc
-Tightened down the turbo to up pipe & down pipe onto the turbo
-installed heat shield ( bolt on passenger side bottom was in an interesting spot)




All That's Left
-Install intercooler
-Install front strut brace ( not quite understanding the new brackets to move the a/c line
-Finish installing the new front sway bar (bolts on d clamps are a P-i-t-a to get off

ALMOST THERE!

 

DONE! and it runs. happy that all went well.

NEXT: Getting tuned @ EQ on the 1st
