thanks for the compliments! I have no pictures of the engine bay, but other than my custom bracket for the boost contol solenoid and cruise control, t looks exactly like the engine bay that the motor originally came from. Speaking of JDM bits, we're going to Japan in a few weeks and I might have to track down some JDM fog lights. The stock ones that came on 00-02 BE are rather worthless. I wonder if there are any other goodies I should look for

We've had almost no issues with the car in more than 12k miles since the swap. It still has a mystery problem with boost spikes at WOT, but I think it is due to my creative hose configurations to the boost control solenoid and wastegate actuator. I'll have to work on it next time I'm in Washington.

infox- thanks for the heads up. We've not yet explored southern Washington and will likely head that way this spring/summer to ski Mt.Hood
