Some Phamspeed install pics Here are some pics of PurEvl's car coming together.We made a bracket to hold the Turbo so it won't put any stress on the pipes.Then we cut out the front to move the radiator's so he could use the stock dual fans

Nice, great to see the t88/pham kit going on mikes ride.
Is that the brace I see going to the front of the block? Any worries that it'll break the block in those areas...or not a worry at all?
Man its going to be one sick ride...like always until he gets an itch to change it again
More pics of the brace please, I know my headers are living on borrowed time with the 45lb GT42 hanging off em.
Thanks,
Jeremy

oh yeah, slowhawk, I just ordered a 2.5 inch flex bellows for the long passenger side crossover pipe. I plan on cutting the pass side crossover in two pieces about 6 inches from the outlet of the passenger side header and splicing it in right there to isolate the load and movement thats going to the headers....good idea or bad...let me know.

What you don't see in the picture is the second bolt holding the bracket on under the power steering.The bracket is strong as hell and took my 230lbs standing on it 
The only thing that I wonder about is the Turbo being 1/4" away from the pulley.We hope it doesn't melt the rubber in the pulley

Cool I'll proceed with that mod...was unsure but I want to keep the stress off this header. I wished pham thought parts of this kit out a lil better
I haven't melted my balancer pulley yet, I have a turbonetics heatshield on the exhaust housing so that helps a lil i'd think, and I also coated it too. I want to get the better exhaust housing blanket Jose sells once I have the money for it.
I'll try and fab up a brace for my turbo as well, don't want the cracks to start forming, thanks for the great idea to where it should go

We are also doing an oil pump for the return after seeing alot of drain back problems but we will add a resister to slow down the pump so it lives longer
Here is some pics of the exhaust how it is now,
In the first pic, i've added in where I'll put the flex bellows on the passenger side crossover. I have a 3.0 flex bellows on the DP already. The exhaust is tucked up real nice and hasn't banged anything...only the damn passenger side crossover pipe has
I welded a tab on to the "catalytic" pipe right where GM has the hanger off the tranny I then drilled a hole through the tab and into the tranny bracket itself, put a bolt, lock washer and nut through to keep the exhaust bolted up to the tranny bracket and off the BMR T/A mount. I'll have to get pics of that as its not in these pics. Real slick as I can go open DP by taking off the catback strap clamp, a strap clamp off the DP and taking out the bolt to the tranny bracket...literally 10-15min of work at the track....when I get there
