After driving the Chevelle for a couple days with the new belt routing I started getting a little squeek when snapping the throttle. I found that the belt had stretched a little. I guess it was just too long, too late though can't return it now. My solution was to add an idler pulley to take up some slack, and it was free! I cut a longer bolt to the lenth I needed and tapped new threads to it and mounted the idler with a tubular space like I did for the idler relocation on the driver side. I used the bottom tensioner bracket mounting hole. works great.

Today I installed the turbos, made the right downpipe and got the top half of the oil feed lines put together. I also made the left downpipe but didn't get it installed. Tomorrow I will instal the left downpipe, finish the oil feed lines and install the return lines. I will post more pics tomorrow.

Looking good brother. The hood closes with no problem right? Really wish I had stuck with my truck accessories. Can't put my drivers side turbo where yours is because of the alternator.

Hood closes just fine. Now the problem is the steering shaft hits the manifold and is binding, I doesn't when its on the lift.

I don't think I can dimple cast iron. I was thinking about getting a Borgenson (spelling?) u-joint. that may fix the issue. I will snap some pics in the morning and post so you can see.

I teed off the oil pan adapter and ran a hard line up to a T fitting to 2 braided lines. All 3/16" hard line and 1/8" NPT braided to -4AN at the turbos. returns are -10AN. got the kits off Ebay cheap.
