The white is actually base and clear coat. We tried using metallic flake for the first time and that kind of made things look un even, so we wet sanded it down a little to far. To late to worry about looks anymore, we spent the first 2 months on the bay alone.

I'd be worried about all those silicone elbows and couplers. You should weld wherever possible IMO

Turbo placement looks really low. Worried about you drain at all?

Yea I was a little worried about this as well. I think if I run a bead around the piping to keep the coupler from sliding it will help.

A little worried since Im using a vette oil pan and fitting placement is almost level with the bottom of the turbo. It's just a little lower.
