It looks kinda like his driveshaft is sitting under the car. Might not be, but thats what it looks like to me. If you look at the top of it you can kinda see where it attaches to the rear-end.

Off brand "T70"s, they are closer to a 60-1.

And thanks, I was trying to match the paint close as possible, the intercooler piping is going to be painted red similar to a earls fitting.

what kind of adapters etc are you using for the oil supply and return lines where they connect to the turbos? you dont seem to be using the traditional flange/gaskets that I see sold everywhere... whats the deal?

otherwise it looks awesome!

Are the Gates just dumped infront of the motor. If so is there any damage to that can be done because of this or does it realy matter. Also could you dump the gates like u have on a DD.

The gates are not done yet, at a minimum I'm going to take them down and back a little to keep the engine bay clean.

I'll probably merge the WG down pipes to the exhaust down pipes

2.5 from the turbos to the intercooler, in these pictures you can see how the 2.5 from each turbo merges into 1 3.5 pipe and into the intercooler

When the air leaves the intercooler, it goes out a 3.5 90, into a 4in then 4in all the way up to the throttle body..

Far as I know

Blue
Red
Purple
Silver

There may be other colors, You can probably custom order them any color but you will pay minimum fees, I would guess around $60 to color them a off color.
