You can't Hellraiser, I knew that, but I was curious about his clearence issues and having an aftermarket k-memeber. I also just remembered he doesn't have the forward facing headers from his pics. Earlier post was probably from working long long hours this week.

Nope, if I was running foward facing pass side header this wouldn't be an issue. I wanted to run the foward facing pass side, but couldn't wait that long to go turbo

Gary that oil sensor port deal sounds great...we ran out of time to do this today

Would the oil level sensor port be a good idea on a car that is running a gravity drain and not pump driven like Garys Incon set up???

Frcefed98 are you going to use the supplied oil return line? I am think about setting up a -10 SS lione with the fittings. Not to sure what i wanna do. I know we used the same return setup on the honda turbo kits we did and had trouble with small leaks.

I used the supplied line on a tap that was already made on the pan when I bought the motor.

I'd be more then happy to take them for you, but my car isn't at the house. I doubt by the time I got my hands back on it you'd still need the pics. If you send me a picture of the side of your pan. I'll put it in paint and make a circle where it needs to go.

Yep, I'm going to use the one supplied by Phamspeed. My brothers, T-trim Vortech has a smaller return than the one I have so, I comfortable with it. SS braided would look great, but maybe later down the road. I just want to get this car started up Turbocharged ASAP I'll get those pics soon, i've recruited my brother from some drilling and tapping if the weather holds tomorrow.
