i would advise against that rubber line for the fuel pumps. It may work fine for you but mine always swelled and split as it was not made to be submersed in gasoline. I ended up using some 300psi hydraulic line that could be submersided and have been good for 1.5 years now. Just my opinion Nice work so far!

LOL ground clearance issues with a pham set up....

I drive like an old ****** and with the old pham stuff on the car I would scrape the pipes if I sneezed in the car...and my car isn't lowered.

I got sick of looking out for every little, bump, dip and bug in the road as it took all the fun out of driving the car everyday. Went truck manifolds and i've only scraped my exhaust on one thing.....the damn driveway into the dyno, it is shaped like this lil guy ---> ^

I haven't scrapped or hit it since then and the car is now fun to drive around the city again.

the spec 5 will be a real PITA to break in from the looks of it....and i guess its gonna be trial by fire with the pham kit.I drive pretty cautiously when it comes to bumps and such,and the DP is only like another 1/2" lower than the crossover pipe,guess well see.

Jer...did you have to get another belt when u got the alt bracket,cause it looks like im a good 2 inches short with of belt,any pics would be nice if im doing something wrong.

Yeah I'm pretty sure its a shorter belt, I had the one thats on the car now, hanging in the garage. It was from my old Powerdyne set up and it fit right on there.

I'll post the PN in a few.

Don't no no no me, if you don't know how to route a belt, then you really shouldn't be putting a turbo on the car J/K


Man I don't know what i've got going on, my car has be too far remove from stock for too long
Here is the belt # its a NAPA belt, hope it helps 25-060755 so its a 75 and 1/2 inches long or about there.
Post a pic up of how you are trying to route it if you can.
