White is always good. I'd do white, or black.

got my manifold back from my buddy, had him weld some braces on, going to have him do one more once its all mocked up. then i shouldnt have any problems with cracking due to the weight of the turbo

If you do paint your bay the "DIY" way, I would suggest maybe using a paint roller and rustoleum. Thin it out a little bit with some mineral spirits and roll a bunch of thin-ish coats, and use a fine foam roller.

I did this on mine and it turned out decent....it is satin black and is fairly durable.

I'd take those back off the car and put it on steelies. Unless you want to do some tractor pulls in the grass, lol.

havent updated this in a while, sold the manifold and 38mm tial gate, my 44mm just got here today

took my turbo, downpipe, and a few other things over to rick(5thgen) so he can work some magic on them and getting his old topmount from him. big thanks to him for doing some extra work to make that holset fit on the manifold lol. still need to order a bigger spring for the wastegate, its got the smallest spring in it, will probably go with 1 bar spring or whichever spring is closest to that. come tax return time i should be able to take her to get tuned once everything gets back together!
