Default I suppose its time to make a build thread...eBay kit!

This is what Ive been working on and asking question about as I went, heres the setup:

MP T70 turbo
Tial 38mm WG
SteedSpeed inline BOV
eBay hot side kit
ls6 manifold
60# injectors
meth injection(still deciding)
fuel pump(havent decided which)
smokinhawk alternator relocation bracket
Rollermaster double roller timing chain
ls6 oil pump

Bought my 00 T/A in mid august, 40k miles m6. Gorgeous




Figured Id add some red to the new manifold


Ebay kit assembled on the floor:





Day 1:
As you can tell Im planning on keeping my fogs






MP T70 thanks to Modular Turbo


Some shitty pics of the hot side fitment:




Looks like the PS line is getting wrapped or replaced with something high temp.


Alternator relocation:

I have some more up to date pics on the way. Im in the process of maybe dropping the oil pan, partially to get the oil pickup tube bolt and partially to tap a spot for the drain. After that I need to get my passenger side o2 sensor moved because its too close to the starter. Im also having the wastegate discharge pipe removed and the hole welded up, as im running open WG. My BOV still isnt here so Im waiting on that to finish my cold side, along with a couple couplers.

Im retarded lol. I got the new pump in, and it looked like it didnt seat well. So I took it off and put the ls1 pump on, same deal. I went to do the ls6 and I thought I had it threaded in but guess not.

i have the same kit, and had to move the passenger 02 sensor, notch the passenger side header v-band clamp, make the wastegate dump to atmosphere, and with my 76mm turbo, the downpipe wouldnt fit so i had to make a custom one.

DO NOT USE THE EXHAUST GASKETS IT COMES WITH!!!!!!

mine melted... wtf. just buy new stock ones or reuse the ones you have.

besides all that, its a great kit!

I think theres a couple guys over 700hp easy with this kit. I think it should work fine in the stang I would imagine the only issue would be the DP and crossover in relation to frame on it.

yea i plan to email them and see if i can buy it minus the down pipe setup. i just really like the looks over a truck manifold kit. and saves some time it looks. id like it to handle 850-1000whp. if i can get a turbo big enough to fit.

So, this kit is starting to **** me off. Mainly the downpipe. Its touching the boot on the steering and I cant figure out a way to pull it away due to the lack of space available. And I dont want to leave it that close due to heat. Can someone with this kit help me out and tell me what all you had to do to make this work. Im really wishing I had gone KYTP.
