Well I made a little progress today to get ready to stand my radiator up. I removed the A/C compressor, condenser and canister. I also went ahead and removed my alternator since its getting relocated, and i also pulled out the radiator.
Cant wait until this engine is removed so I can clean, and repaint the engine bay..
Lots of room for turbos!
No more A/C
Now i see why you cant fit a downpipe on the drivers side with a stock K-member....holy ****, no room..

Got a couple more goodies in. Not getting many replies, or suggestions, but if anyone cares, my XSPower BOV came n, alternator relocation bracket, and my 2.5" V-bands for my truck manifolds came in yesterday. Almost to the point where i can start building.
BOV, i was leery about buying whats considered a "cheap" part. But i was assured that this bov was really a quality piece, so for $98, i said **** it and ordered it. its a bov, worst its gonna do is stop working and cause some compressor surge, then i can replace it. But, i got it in and looked at it. its an extremely nice piece. better than i was expecting. high quality for sure.
Also, i put a deposit down on my AES 390!
Callies crank, compstar rods, diamond pistons, custom turbo cam.

Well, i finally got my Turbos, Gates, and Flanges in. should start in about a week and a half fabiing things up. ANY advice at all on how to position these turbos correctly as far as where they are going to sit. Do you just basically eye it, or is there a way to mount the flange in the area you want the turbo to go and you just build to that flange.

Turbonetics RG-45mm Wastegates
All my mandrel bends from Columbia river... Im sending back the flanges and the extended v-bands. going to get the rectangular port flanges with the turbo forms and just the vband rings. There is a dead spot against the turbo with round port flange and i dont like it.
