Wow that is an absolutely sick setup! The headers are gorgeous as well as the whole setup. Looks like those headers may make a plug change some fun. Very Impressive

checking the oil is not bad at all, the dipstick slides out between the wastegate and radiator.
As far as sound goes it sounds like a stock header, aftermarket cat-back with a cam out back. Up front you can hear the turbo's a lil at idol. Wide-open sounds pretty mean though.
I have been meaning to get some video since it has been done. I am going to get some tomorrow night at the track and probably some on the way to the track.

Arent those turbos too big for a stock motor, CI wise?
Unless you have tiny A/R's or maybe the 224 cam helps relieve some pressure, I would think it would take a while to spool on a 346.

everyone quit worrying about things.....let the man run the car at the track and show what has been done...god....lol
I'm sure the shop did a good job, cuz damn it looks good. custom fab work is always best and you get it the way you want it.

Holy ****. Nice, very nice looking setup. Looks like all the bases are covered. Fuse relocation, coil relo (although plug changes wont be a 30min job anymore...whooptie f'ing dooo) retains AC, can retain ABS...shoots. I'd consider throwing a Lokar dipstick in there to maybe make it a little more accessible, but from your post, sounds like it looks worse then it really is. Absolutely sexy. Waiting for the underside shots, track results (I can wait on dyno much longer). Thanks for sharing.

First off, great work and beautiful set up! I know you said plug changes are easy once the downpipes are removed but are they easy to remove? I'm guessing it's not too difficult. Can't wait to see some vids/times/more boost....

Yes actually the turbo's spool pretty damn fast (i was kinda shocked).
the downpipes are pretty easy to pull (mostly all v-band clamps), plug change shouldn't take much more than a hour to 1.5 hours
the fuse boxs are where the air pump use to be, and the coilpacks are on some brackets i made and mounted up front on the frame rails. i will get some pics of that stuff + air filters.
I did get it tuned last night for the 8.7 WG springs and WOW, feels pretty damn good. i am heading to the track tonight to see what i can pull even though i think i will run out of gear (still have 4.10's for now). i will let you know what i can get.
