I dont think we're gonna melt anything. The exhaust housing has plenty of room and is coated. The only thing that sits close to the radiator is the compressor housing and that shouldnt get hot at all (keeps fingers crossed)

Looks good! Is that the final resting place for the radiator sitting that low to the bottom? I take you'll be stk ride height? I'd hate to hit something knowing the radiator is fixed at the basically the same height as the air damn. Other than that nice work!

Yeah you are right about that, but we haven't made the radiator shroud which will pull the radiator back a bit more. That will give us a 1/4inch air gap between the compressor housing and the fan. If it bugs me enough i'll find more room......but the compressor housing gets hot and all but I really don't think it'll cause problems to the fan itself.
The exhaust housing is what I was worried about and we have a TON of clearance there.
The radiator sits low, but it can be moved higher by about 1.5 inches. The car is stock ride height. The only thing the air dam scrapes on is steep driveways....so he'll already know to slow to crawl when going up drive ways.
Huge turbos require drastic measure to get em to fit, we got it to fit.....barely

Thanks Guys, it's been a fun build. I just hope to the man upstairs it ends this month.
Things needed, hang the exhaust, complete turbo support brackets, radiator restraining brackets to keep the radiator from leaning on the turbo, cooling hoses, abs delete, hook up all hydraulics and bleed(brakes, clutch) and make new sparkplug wires.
Then it should start.
