1-The altinator bracket is from Phamspeed with alot of customizing to get it sturdy.

2-That is just -4 line.I have a shorter Nitrous feed line to go on it someday.

As for the looks,This is why it took me so long since I did and redid the setup many times. My big things were keeping the stock fans and ground clearance.The next one will be done alot faster now that I have the idea.

The exhaust is awesome.Sounds like a stock car with a Corsa

Yes,we spun the T-stat and welded on new tabs.Also the lower radiator hose is stainless steel pipe around the Turbo setup.
