Default Got the hot side to the turbo started today.

Started on plumbing the hot side of the turbo up, and managed to get to the turbo done. I'm a little worried about hood clearance, JK it's for a boat application. Let me know if you guys see something wrong this is my 1st turbo build and I am stoked!!

How are you routing the downpipe? Looks good other than the crush bent pipes but they will work fine.

I'm putting a 4" 90 on the back of the turbo and will run stainless flex to the resonator.

Wastegate being plumbed just below the turbo may limit the minimum boost you can attain....

a bit late, seeing you have coated them....

Finished up all the plumbing today.. After I changed the injectors from stock to Seimens DEKA IV 60lb fuel injectors I fuel soaked the plugs! I cut the fuel from stock to about 65% and got it to crank and run.
