Got the turbo connected to the intercooler and the Tial 50mm blowoff valve welded up. Note that there aren't any silicone connectors anywhere....everything is connected with aluminum v-band assemblies :nod:

3.5" out of the turbo. At the end of the long straight, its steps up to 4". will be 4" from the I/C to the throttle body too

Haven't figured that out yet. Once this kit is done, we are going to figure that out...obviously not a mail order type thing since alot of structural things on the car had to be clearanced for room...

Thats a TPiS Fast 90 style TB. I made an adapter plate out of aluminum some time back.

On a build like this....it'll never happen...no way to 100% jig everything up.
