Default Running Hotside with a Motor Plate?

Hey guys, I'm trying to get some ideas how to make my hot side with my motor plate. If you can post pics please do. Also let me know what plate your running and what manifolds. Thanks in advance.

I am running truck manifolds and an AEI plate. Even had a alternator in the old AC location.

2.5", work turbo s480 cast wheel. Thank you, i should have more pics soon, its a real pita to try and finish building this thing with my work schedule right now, me and Steve at Legend Racing have been fabbing it up in both our free time. Should be awesome when its done, my first real turbo car so we'll see. I'll post more pics when i get some good ones, i will probably write up a build thread over in the FI section if i get some time. Its a pretty wild little ultra street/x275 setup.
