44mm vband wastegate (on3)
EMUSA billet vband BOV
universal FMIC and 3in piping kit
eboost 2 controller
return through evap line fuel setup
60lb injectors
twin 255 pumps
12in pusher and 10in puller fans
lots of header wrap
all new precision turbo vband clamps since the ebay ones SUCK

On second thought, it seems fine, just not optimal for a FI application...

Awesome build looks great. One thing I can tell you is those fans will be enough to run your ac in town. Might be okay on the highway though.

he said in the original post he's using the EBAY turbo kit. He's just wrapped it all and used different V-band clamps.

OP - why can't you run a swaybar?

You are correct the way the regulator is setup is not optimal for boost, *EDIT I changed it around*

Guys, the headers are from the ebay hotside kit. I simply made some changes on the crossover pipe and the downpipe which had to be snaked around the k member, and bought some good v band clamps to replace the ones that come in the kit.

I have my fingers crossed on the fans, the puller does 1200cfm and the pusher does 1400. If it dont work I can still stuff another fan on it.

If I really really wanted to, the sway bar could be put back on, but I took the bracket off for it on drivers side to clear the downpipe. Unfortunately this kit is not made for a BMR non turbo k member. Look right above the drivers side tie rod and you can see what I mean about sway bar interference

I changed the fuel lines. I'm not really sure what I was thinking at the time...it worked but was not good, could deadhead the pass rail the other way. Oh well 5 minutes and here it is.

These pushers flow 2,210 CFM each. I will be blowing through a condenser as well, using these fans.
