I did the build several months ago. They wanted $700 with over a month turn around time. That's ridiculous.

The Depos take about 5 minutes to open. I think the Evo-X would be an easier drop it.

Replaced intake elbow:


Air Filter:


Disa Gasket:





No pics of O2 sensors, I took to indie to do them. Post Cat and they were a b*tch to remove. Reason for replacing the bullsh*t gasket on Disa valve was an intake leak detected after having vehicle smoked. Reason for replacing O2 sensor was a heater circuit failure on one of them, so I changed both. First pic of Disa shows me destroying the gasket, it was not like that inside manifold. Runs much smoother and with a bit more pep-in-her-step.

Reason to replace post-cat O2 sensors? Did you have a SES code?

Yes. Heater circuit was damaged on one of them, so I did them both.

Fixed a boost leak. I'm a little bummed the dinan pipes don't have rolled edges.

FX-R vs stock Depo projector at night. The Depo projector has a huge step in it and could use a tweaked/new shield.

Replaced both front and rear brake pads including new anti-rattle clips. I plan on flushing the brake fluid next weekend since I didn't have a helper today.

Nice! The depo cutoff looks like the factory e55 proJector. The rotation on you fxR looks a bit off....looks like it needs to be twisted counter clockwise a bit. Everything else looks good though!

There was some nasty shit on my clear coat:
