I think the turbo will probably be big enough. Now if I can just finish it all up and get it on the road.

Ok I got alot done today. I finished the downpipe and the cold side plumbing. I had to cut the firewall to fit it all. Some people will probably not like it, but it's my car and it's just going to be a fun driver/semi race car. It will not qualify for any nmra or nmca classes anyways due to the powertrain combo. I cut a piece of 5'' piping in half to make a patch panel and I am still filling in the gaps, but it won't be noticeable mutch from the inside.

I have to install the torqu box reinforcement plates tommorow and weld them up. Does anybody have any links to picture installs of how it's done. I got the UPR kit if it makes any difference. I also will start the wiring of the painless harness next week. The machine shop called and said the real motor is going to be done on tuesday as well. I still have to pick a color though. I thought about FLAT Navy Blue with maybe some red in it somewhere or a cool shade of Green. Here are the pics:

Downpipe all welded up with 5'' to 4'' tranistion we hammered down






Overall view of the product
