The adapter on the side of the oil pan right above the oil filter, I put a brass T with a 3/16" hard line to another brass T fitting to the braided line to the turbos.

Just a few more pics of some progress. The car is up and running. I haven't put it into boost yet as it is not tuned and the injectors are not in. still waiting for the intercooler stuff to come, should be here next week while I'm on vacation.

This morning I got up early and installed my 80# injectors and 2.5 BAR map sensor. I then installed my 2 BAR SD OS, unfortunately the car doesn't run very well now. Gonna work on intercooler next week and then getting it tuned.

Take your time, and take the advice of the people on the forum. They've been there and done that. Every time I thought I can make that work even though the guys on the forum said it wouldn't, It came back to bite me in the ***. I would do it in stages, get it running n/a, than add the turbo.

I also take every pointer and all advice into great consideration.. If someone says an idea that I mentioned will not work for whatever reason, I follow up with my own research to verify what they said.. (it has all been true so far..) I have narrowed down a bunch of factors this way.. I am getting very close....
My question to you, 99vetteFRC, is there a way to get my motor running first like you suggested, without buying headers and a bunch of other parts that I will not need for my 4.8 single turbo?

You can put it on a stand and get it running that way. Or put it in your car and just use the manifolds you work out all you n/a bugs. Then bolt on your headers and turbo kit. Im with 99vette start N/A then go turbo. Think you would have less headaches that way.
