At the time of that picture, yes, I had the bracket on and the cruise control hooked up at the same time. My intercooler pipes now go through the spot my cruise control box was so I have since removed it. Have you tried loosening the three bolts that hold on the bracket and trying to rotate it over a bit? The holes should be slightly overdrilled so it should wiggle a little until they're all tight. Let me know if that works for you.

lol, yeah, too often booze gets in the way of life... or is it the other way around? 
Anywho, after a long (un-deserved) break from working on my car I finally got back to it today. I had some parts come in and I chased some others down.
Put a filter on the oil feed line.
This little %&^*ard was hard to find. (Its a plug for my oil level sensor) BTW, my dp doesn't hang this low, I moved it for the picture.
I thought after all that grief I finally had my drain line figured out...
... but even after a couple good tugs it came out a half inch too short. That's the story of my life.
I had extra hose though and I figured it out. Here's everything in there.
Tomorrow I'll put on my belt and radiator and get some fluids in there. Should be all set to start it up pending a decent tune. I looked around for a file repository but didn't see anything I liked that was in the format EFI Live uses. Anyone know any good places to look or should I just start from scratch?

I bet under 12 years of grit and grime there's a shiny aluminum flange somewhere.

Good eye on the hole in the dp, I fixed that up right quick. I finally got around to getting my car out of my parents garage and I think I'm there. I've got some tidying up to do still (like getting an upper radiator shroud) but its good to go for the moment. I was convinced to try and start it on the stock tune and to my suprise it turned over a few times, started, and idled fine until I shut it off. I'm getting my tranny rebuilt by a buddy so I can't really go anywhere yet but I'm happy with how everything turned out. No video or numbers, but here's a couple pictures I thought were cool.
I saw this as I was visiting my girl in Springfield...
That's a lot of truck.
Maybe I should post this question in the tuning section, but i was reading the tutorials in EFI Live and it suggested switching to a 2002 operating system. I downloaded the 2002 OS from their website but haven't done anything with it yet. Reading further in the tutorials it said for boost I should use a custom OS they have. What's your guy's take on this? Should I go with the custom OS from EFI Live? Can I just load these things onto my stock computer? The tutorials aren't too clear on what hardware is necessary. I realize custom adjusting will be necessary but I want to make sure I'm starting from the right square in the first place.

Thanks for the input, that's what I was thinkin. I posted up the question in the tuning section so hopefully someone with experience using a custom OS on EFI Live will see it and offer some insight.

I actually never finished tuning the car so I have no idea. I took a summer job in Wichita and left the car back home so I haven't seen or touched it in a few months. I need a dd for my last year of school so I'll probably end up returning it to stock and put all of the turbo stuff back on when I can get myself something else to drive around every day. Sorry for the let down, but such is life.
