So i finally took some pictures of everything put back on the car. The sway bar does fit but i just removed it...I ran it all last season so going to try it without this year.
The DP for the wastegate looks crazy because i was trying to quiet it down and that's the only piece of tubing i had so i made it work.
Overall the car spools noticeably quicker, there is less heat under the hood, the car is surprisingly quieter due to the wrap and the extra tubing on the WG.
I have pictures of the Th400 swap too....but i will put those up in the auto section.
FWIW, having to drive the car in the snow that one day and exposed to all the salt/chemicals really rusted everything up...yuck!
Ok, critique away.

Ok, for some odd reason my post isn't showing up. I tried reposting and it says the post is a duplicate of another post already posted. ????? Trying this instead.

I don't know where or how I clicked on this link. I just noticed the last post was 4/2/07, so sorry for necroposting. I'd like to see how this looks, but...



EDIT: I can see it now. For some odd reason it wasn't showing this had a second page. Then I had all sorts of weird things happening when I tried to post.

EDIT YET AGAIN: What sized turbo is that?

Could you have brought the merge for the cross over slightly higher up to allow for the use of the stock fan assembly? Or a puller fan setup?

Probably not...there is very little room to fit the turbo inbetween the motor and fans with stock fans. However install pusher fans and you have lots of room.
