Default My OFI kit with some mock up pics!!

Thought I would take this opportunity to thank Joel for an awesome kit and post up some Pics of the hot side and turbo mocked up on my old short block while the LSX 427 is being built. Joel built and shipped the kit in a very reasonable amount of time even though I made changes to a couple things about two weeks into the build. Joel has answered all my PM's within 24 hours or less and has been real helpful and a stand up guy. Everything fit up perfectly during the mock up of all the hot parts.

This is a T-6 kit with a 4" DP, hot coated, 46mm WG, S91 turbo, etc..

This makes it so much harder not to order hot parts with the crazy 25% off sale right now.

Thats exactly how it came from FI. I had to machine down the lip on the exhaust flange a bit to make it work with the DP is all.

Looks great. Any ideas how you will brace the turbo? Is there any more to the DP then what's in the pics?

Plug access is pretty easy. I have changed the plugs on the kits on the dynos before when tuning, b/c they had the wrong plug in before.

Very nice pics dan. It will fit so dont worry. I test fit everyone before it leaves.

Thanks Joel

Thanks guys.

The plugs don't look bad to get at, the hardest one being right above the DP, second one back on drivers side. Looks like they will be even easier to get to from under neath. Haven't figured out the turbo bracket yet, will work something out when I get it in the car. I do have the rest of the DP, it is also 4" and it goes back to where the stock y-pipe ends I believe.
