not to bad, i would have suggusted mounting it like mine though as it would have simplified the downpipe routing and coldpipe routing.

are you going through where the AC used to be for the downpipe? with a little grinding on the kmember, and block (old ac mounts) you can stuff a 4" through there.

fuel pump is the nasty setup with the sumped tank....the turbo to my knowledge is going to be bracketed in place.

I'm kind of playing on this setup to see how it goes.The Turbo is being supported off the motor but you really can't see that bracket.The downpipe should be done today/tomorrow but I have a ton of room to make it.
Whne this is done we will push it to the limit's to see what king of power it can produce and then I'll think about doing more (Jigged and Tig'd).

What is the advantage of using a piece of flex pipe? Is it just to help avoid cracking from the torquing of the motor? Where are you placing the wastegate? If your using a stock Kmember, how much needed to be notched out?
