I like that I am getting good responses and I haven't even shown the completed engine.

One problem that I am having is what to do with the cruise control box. It is in a different place then the 91-94. It doesn't fit around the pipes. I am going to try to rotate the box so that the top cables go over the pipe.
It was a complete accident but the color combination worked out to what I like. It has the primary colors red, yellow, and blue. There is some chrome in there that I thought I wasn't going to like but it worked out. There are also some braided lines in there. Not fake but real braided lines. The valve cover turned out beautiful I think. I used gray primer, masked off the letters and painted the rest red. What I didn't realize was the gray matched the timing belt cover so they blended together. I was going to paint the letters white but I am going to leave it because nothing else is white in the engine bay.
I also liked how the intake pipe worked out. There was some custom welding of 2 3" 45 degree elbows and I put a K&N on the top.
Porting the turbo is one of the best improvements I think I made to the car. No boost creep!!! I hated boost creep. I couldn't go WOT. The flapper only opened like 45 degrees. I couldn't port to the full 90 but I got it to 80 open. I think the 2g O2 housing helped a lot. I ported the outlet to 2.5" to match the exhaust.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas for the cruise control. I kind of want to keep it.
