Ya man that would be great, it looks like its about 5 1/2 inches from the WG flange to the other side of the charge pipe. Thanks

The oil return line looks like it is going to have oil puddle in it.

I am gonna send you a 90* fitting for the drain on the turbo. That way you can shorten up your drain line and make it a direct shot.

So finally got everything close enough to get the car running, all i need to do now is get the alternator relocating and that's it then im going to take the car to get some exhaust ran, and get it tuned and dynoed. Ill def try to get dyno videos of the car soon. Here is a video of the car running.(sry the videos a little long) Also what do you guys think about the exhaust i was just going to get straight pipe ran back to the axle and dump it, later on i am probably going to do like a slp cat-back or something, what do yall think it will sound like with it dumped at the axle? When its completely done ill snap a bunch of photos of everything.

at 70 mph it's dead quiet, but when your taking off it's pretty loud then it mellows down.



not the best but it gives you an idea of how mellow it sounds

What do yall think i should do with the front of the car with the bumper cover? Do i really need to cut it or could i get away with it like it is? What would be the down side to not cutting it?

If you do that, I'd clear it so it doesn't fade like mine did. I have to repaint it now.

That's really coming along. I would suggest cutting the center completely out (direct air), but check out "Grillecraft.com". I cut mine out already, in preparation for my turbo kit, and it looks like a BEAST already. You're making me impatient, but my patience is a virtue, so thanks for all the info. It will come in handy.
