sscam68--- the a/c was off with in the first week I owned the car
Nasty-ta---maybe most of it, but I need to still get my flywheel cut and put all that back together. Kind of saving that for last.

Nasty-ta---The plan for now is for me to tune it just for light street driving. That way I can break in the new clutch and I will get to fix any little problems that come up from the install. Plus I won't have to tow it to a place.
sscam68---very interested...Please let me know
Jer--------Yeah I was wigging out the other day. Told my wife I didn't want to do this anymore and I missed my kids. Then I got that drivers side turbo manifold on and was like yeah that looks good.. Kinda took the stress away.

Pat,
I am gonna try and make it up on Saturday afternoon. I have a bachelor's party to attend after dinner so I will try and make the "voyage" to your house to check out the car. Everything is looking good from the pic's you have been posting. Will you be around saturday???
Andy
BTW, check with 99SS-T to see if he can make it too. I want a ride in his car

Verdad Gallardo Very nice bud, gotta love that copper wrap. It turns a cool looking color once some heat is put through it. Too bad you had to do someone elses work today. Glad you Pm'ed on that.
A bit of advice....don't seat the radiator hose all the way to the stop on the thermostat housing....once the airfilter is on the turbo it'll touch that radiator hose and rub on it. With the hose clamped a lil ways from that stop on the thermo housing it'll give you the lil bit of room for the airfilter to move some. Did I send you pics of what I did to my airfilter to run the VC PCV lines to? If not hit me up for them.

I think it'd be best with poly motor mounts and poly tranny mount to avoid as much deflection of the motor as possible so that hitting the turbo flange would be less probable.

I don't see it ever hitting the pulley because the turbo will move with the motor. Its like all one unit kinda. I see the front swaybar might be a problem on the driver side. I guess it depends on which way the motor flexs?
Hellraiser, I agree it may not move regardless. However, with the poly mounts as stated above the engine and turbo should move in unison with each other moreso than they would with the stock mounts b/c of more flex. Do you see what I'm saying?
My gap is even smaller I have a heat shield around my exhaust housing effectively knocking that gap down to about half of what you see on hellraisers car.
No rubbing at all so far and can't see it rubbing at all unless I get crankshaft walk likea DSM or hit a huge frickin bump that forces my turbo into the crank pulley....I'd have other issues to worry about then...like cracked headers, pipes....
MSD's are the only wires to work on this kit as they offer the multi angle boots.
