Yeah no vac line on the turbo. I'll post a picture of how retarted my return line is. I originally planned to have the turbo in a different location so I put the drain in according to that, but plans changed haha. Good luck on your start up forcd!
It's a 3/8 return, I used parker push-lok jiffy tite hose from a local supplier. it works great and is real easy. If you use it, just put some soap or some **** on it to help lube it up.. lube is a good thing hahaha. When are you going to fire up that beast RX?
It's funny I get it started and then I am like.. **** I have a lot to do still, well I'll get after it and keep pluggin away

Well, mine went pretty good, except the front crank seal is leaking, it didn't last year, but an easy fix
I was prob more worried about the trans, since I am not exactly a trans guru, but have built enough to have an idea if its going together right, lol
It seems to have all the gears, so prob ok
Now I have have to wait for good weather, lol

76/68 from vs racing. Viren is a real awesome guy to deal with. I could tell he was busy but he made sure to e-mail me back quickly and he also talked to me on the phone with great customer service. Will definitely go back to him. I will pull the gt45 off tomorrow and take a peek at it and throw this guy on. Hopefully be rolling into some boost tomorrow

This is my good friend James "The dude". He has helped me a bunch with sourcing parts (the motor, tranny, and he built the rear end). We found that th400 for 100 bucks at a swap meet.
This is Mike Finnegan of Roadkill putting a Roadkill sticker on my car. He said "You know it is going to break now right?". He also said "please don't ever paint this car".
This is how the car is sitting after swapping in some Moroso Trick front spring I had laying around that were cut a bit. On the *** end James had to idea to cut the spring even though its a tight coil at the top and just let the Upper part of the spring sit in the pocket. Hard to explain but it worked out great!
These are the wheels and tires from my GTO but they look sooo good on this car.. uh oh

Idk why I cut it off like a retard haha but it was on like 10psi just ******* around in mexico..
Thinking about swapping in a different converter maybe just a stocker see if it is better just for a comparison. Haven't decided yet. Front cover is pushing oil like a boss, so I am pretty sure I have some crankcase pressure issues to deal with... orrr just ignore it.. like I have been...
