3" downpipe. not sure about the clearance yet, I'll know tomorrow

Bought another $75 in fittings today. Serpentine belt is on, plugs are in, oil feed is finished, oil drain is done, all I need to do is wire up the fan and the oil scavenge pump...get some mixed plug wires and she's READY!

I'm so excited. Too bad I won't be able to get into boost

Stock height for now, I figure someday I'll want to lower it an inch or so, so I went ahead an got some hummer manifolds to use if/when the time comes. This will get all the pipes over the K member without rebuilding the whole kit, but I'll have to drop A/C. If I drop A/C, I'll cut the crossbar up and stand the radiator straight up for more room.

This crap never ends

This little aluminum tank is an oil reservoir for the scavenge pump pictured below, just gotta find space to mount the damn thing

And here are my to-be-used manifolds (off a hummer 6.0L)

SHE RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drove it around the hood today, FINALLY. Few problems...had the fan wired backwards so it overheated pretty quick. Fixed that...my JB weld the fitting into the oil feed elbow trick didn't work, so anyone know where I can find an extra elbow (right above oil filter)? Other than that, all I need is a filter for the turbo and some not-so-ghetto plug wires and i'll be happy for now

On my particular setup, I went with the pump because the drain from my turbo wouldn't have had any drain angle. Didn't have to tap the oil pan though

Just ran the hose up to my oil cap, which I'll later put into the valve cover. Pump sounds nice ( not very loud) and keeps me from having drain issues. Pricey unit though $$$
