Well yesterday was a decent day. Got the turbo mounted and hotside piping done. Going to order the coldside piping today and hope to finish things up next weekend for the most part. Gotta give all credit to my buddy Josh (91lscoupe) for fabbing this up!

are you going to add any bracing to support the weight of the turbo. i bought a t4 flange that was extended so i could bolt it to the car but i have to run flex pipe off the headers.

There is actually a mount for the turbo on there to support the weight of it. Can't really see it tho, it mounts to the bottom and outside Of the frame rail. I didn't get a pic of just that.

I'm in the middle of my turbo in my fox. What are you going to do for your return line?
I used a -10 and a 90 and tapped on the passenger side of the front cover between the balancer and the edge but I'm worried the stock balancer might be too big and catch the edge of the 90. So I'm thinking of looking into a under drive pulley that doesn't cost an arm and a leg

I'm using an fbody oil pan, which has pretty good ground clearance. Most people use fbody or cts-v pans from what I've read. And the Crank pulley is a Summit racing UDP.
