Thanks man, It is SOOOOOO nice being able to unbolt my entire front end/turbo kit in a matter of minutes. Only thing that cant come off anymore if the radiator support because of the wiring harness running through it.

Should have my motor back before the end of the week, got all the battery relocatino **** taken care of, and the fuse boxes back in place ect... So that is a big pain in the *** out of my way. If i can drop my motor this weekend I will post up some more pictures of the setup for you all.

You should probably just go SD...

Their on the way! I am redoing it this weekend before it goes on.

Im assuming when you say go SD you mean Speed Density. Which i am doing with a 3bar map. Does that mean i dont need my stock O2s?

Here you can see my O2 sensor in the cross over. The other one is directly across from it.

My question is why did you choose to run a 3" crossover? Being a street car I think you will have a hell of a time spooling that turbo. I also think you cam choise isn't very good for spooling a Large turbo with a smallish motor. Just my 2cents

Thank for the clarification. As far as the crossovers and cam choice, we will see when it gets done how fast it goes down the track

Phil posted some good info in here

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...old-build.html

About hurting Spooling characteristics with larger Primarys. He also states that they have made OVER 2000hp with 2.5 in crossovers. He also recomended in another thread that I can't find right now that 2.25 would be ideal for a 370ci and smaller motor

What gate is that? Looks lik JGS

I had the 50mm JGS on my setup with the same 90degree type mount you have and it was insufficient. I just put a JGS 66mm and love it, problem fixed.

Good luck, keep us posted.
