Progress has been slow. Being able to only work weekends on this thing has pushed back when I thought I would have it completed. Anyways, heres some update pics.

Turbo feed line features a inline filter (seen in blue), and a tee for a pressure gauge (seen in red). Hopefully 3an is good enough for the JB 5858. Also, terrible pic of the wastegate, but it should give you an idea of how it fits in there. Would have been better to actually clamp it down (derp). It is definitely really tight down there, and my dump tube is not fitting right. Hopefully once the turbo is brought closer to the manifold via a brace, it will clear.



Intercooler piping has somewhat been a challenge. I want a clean look without piping running over each side of the engine. This is the mock-up for the passenger side. Driver side will be very similar, with the piping dropping down between the fans and the front of the motor. The MAF, and BOV will be down there since that is the greatest region of straight sections.

I have been working with pre-bent 45, 60, and 90 pipes, so I am somewhat limited in what I can do. I have a few silicon couplers on order so I should have piping finished up next weekend. Ill make sure to post these pictures up.



Made a stop by Home Depot racing parts to pick up some intercooler mounts. :)



Eager to put these bad boys to work.
