A few more pictures for those interested. Relocated the cruise control box today, took it out of its little box bracket and bolted it up a little higher as you can see. Now an air filter fits on the turbo! The pass side is a little different and i'm going to get a 90* piece of pipe to attach the filter. I also hooked up the feed lines to turbos and thats about all for this short day. Heres some pics of the filter on and where we put the cruise control box.

Looks great.
Hows the ground clearance with those cold pipes/intercooler? Hard to tell with the pics.

As long as they are no lower than the front bumper cover there shouldnt be any issues.

The intercooler lays almost in the exact same spot and height as that little air duct piece under the bumper. The bottom of the intercooler actually kind of replaces that piece and is how it gets a lot of its air. The pipes have more clearance off of that so we're good. The only time i ever bottomed out that air duct piece was when going down huge slopes so i'll be fine for clearance if i'm careful going down incredibly steep driveways.

All of that stuff looks like it hangs way too low. I bet when you set that back down on the ground, you're gonna about how all that stuff sits.

Just my opinion. And No, I don't think there is any way that those turbo's will gravity drain. They sit several inches lower than the TTi kit and its on the edge of gravity draining.

well the piece of plastic that runs under the bumper to bring air up... the IC sits almost in the same spot, no lower. and i only have bottomed that out out steep slopes going straight down... I think ground clearance is only a matter mainly of how you drive. I am lowered and RARELY bottom out, your not going to bottom out on reg driving.... only on slopes, and if you just use your head and take them at angles, i bet i'd never bottom out. I am almost positive its not going to be a problem at all. As for gravity drain.. it should drain no problem it looks like

thanks, need some help here guys...

Looking for parts to complete the oiling set up. I have the fittings for drain off the Turbo's, they are -10an size, i have some heater hose to use for drain

now i need a T fitting to accept -10an hose on all 3 sides..

Fitting to connect the -10an hose to the oil pan

Either im really computer illiterate or no big online sotres carry these fittings, could someone please link me to what i need to complete the oil return? Have the fittings off turbos and the hose.... Thanks!

Also.... whats the difference between draining to the pan that most people do vs drain to the bottom portion of the timing cover that i saw Navy David did in a search?

That thing is sick. Does your hood close with the alternator mounted that high up??? It looks like it's WAY too high.
