Radiator should be back any day. Had some stuff added to it for mounting. It will look clean and simple.

I like the way you modified the exhaust manifolds. The guy building your kit has some nice fabrication skills. Where did you buy the reducer for the down pipe?

UPDATE:
Got most of the cold side done. Also got the bottom turbo support done and radiator back from having the mounting tabs, and AN fittings welded for hoses.
