Some notables:

* Fuse box relocated - moved from factory location to a custom mount in front of where the OEM one was. This is where the wiring was most spaghetti like and Steven did an awesome job, as this mount is more like a box and the wiring sits underneath it. This is also the area where the harness for the ECU passes through the firewall and this is now nicely hidden as well.

* Vacuum hose plenum: The factory has vacuum bosses everywhere as seemingly random locations. Steven created a vacuum plenum into which *all* the vacuum connections originate from. This is one of those things that would have never occurred to me to change. Slick!

* With the installation of an Apex'i AFC fuel mixture controller he was able to remove the JWT "idle air correction kit". Long story but suffice to say it removed 6ft of 3/4" rubber hose from the engine bay.

* Pipes from intercooler to intake plenum are now mandrel bends. While I can't imagine how long it took him to do it I do know it cost me over $100 in parts for perhaps two feet worth of pipe, looks bitchin' though!

* High-quality T-clamps on all intercooler hose connections replacing multiple standard hose clamps at intercooler connections. Also silicone hose connects between IC piping and intake manifold.

* Strut towers now have the OEM 510 caps on top and he did some other detail work there. The strut towers look amazingly better.

* Just about everything painted and/or detailed. All cosmetic work was done with the engine IN the car!

* Mega wiring reduction, rerouting, and clean-up. Awesome!!!

* Fan shroud/radiator cover.

* Chrome Allen head bolts.

* Removed brackets/vacuum nipples from intake balance tube

Numerous other items that are just too numerous to list. I actually took an engine bay picture and started marking everywhere Steven changed something, but he made so many changes it turned into a mish-mash of arrows because so many thing changed! Yes, I'm in awe of my own engine bay -does that make me vain?

This takes nothing away from the work Ron has into this swap, trust me. I cannot imagine dong the swap as these cosmetics all in one shot, and my guess is people that DO try all this at once are the guys who never finish the project. Also, even with all this work Steven had to stop himself from doing several other things in the engine bay!

It's amazing how much room there is underhood now, it doesn't look nearly as crowded! The passenger side turbo is now very clearly in view.
