Here are the pics for the hot parts of the 98-02 f-body. I tell you guys this has been one hell of a kit to build so far. The owner of the car stopped by today cause he couldnt wait to see the pics online. He was amazed at what it looks like and what has been done. He says it looks like no other kit out there. The plugs are very easy to get to on both sides. There is about 2 inches on each side of the compresser cover...so room to grow. Let me know what ya think.

Only thing I don't care for is the DP going through the drivers side, would of much rather liked seeing it go through the passenger side, there is a lot more room and shorter route to the I pipe underneath the passenger seat. Also has a nice spot for a cutout on the DP there. Overall very nice from what we could see

Some people forget what the goals were in this kit. I personally like it. But then again, I dont have AC, PS or ABS. So when I build mine in the next few months none of that will matter.

I dont have PS. But as hot as its been lately I have no desire what so ever to get rid of my AC. Nothing like getting out of your car with a sweaty back

In fact I still don't see what is the a problem. The headers run up high, why can't the DP follow it on the way down like a set of LTs?

So does the turbo need to be supported, how will that work?

The DP can't run up high if you want 3" or more b/c the steering is in the way as long as the plugs. Also the power steering is still in the factory spot as long as the alt. So putting a 3" pipe in between the frame rail and those acc is very tight. The DP is still higher then the k-member.

The turbo will be supported off the front of the engine.

Thanks
