Default Some hot side pics needed for my GT50-88 build.

I finally started my GT50-88 build, the turbo came in today and i got stuff mocked up last night to start doing the hotside. Its easy to follow someone elses work and would like to see some pics so i can get my cuts close. Its just going to be a front mount build with the turbo right front of the power steering box. Thanks.

oh wow.. thanks.

Ive looked on this section for years, remember seeing lots of builds but cant find most. Mostly see them when im bored surfing the net at work.

Right now just working on getting the tranny in so i can get the motor at the right angle.. so looking at ur pic, u run 5" or 4" exhaust between the motor mount and k-member? Trying to decide on how to run mine, with the bmr turbo member.
