What color is this car? From those couple shots it looks like medium blue but slightly more awesome.
The new color is bright metallic blue (3m 1080 vinyl wrap). Look up my old threads I change the color of this car about every year. Original color is silver

I just received my replacement hardware for the alternator kit, this is 3 months after I brought up that the eyelets on the tensioner where machined smaller than the bolts. Where did you mount your scavenge pump and your return line? I got the non ac kit, I had to grind down the dump tube flange to get it to work. Also there seems to be no way to run the oil drain hose it came with without slightly touching the cross over, so I am going with a 90* fitting and ss hose.

I ran it to the drivers side fender/bumper area for the scavange pump. keeps the hose out of the way (routed forward and along lower core support) and sits lower than the turbo. from there I went up to the drivers side valve cover in the rear so it isn't seen.

Any updates to the car. Currently installing the ac kit on my car. I have sorted out most of the problems. Different alt kit, ps line kit, dented cross over to clear swaybar. Are there any good options on mounting the intercooler?
