i understand u are running a MANUAL scavenge pump?
running off the serpentine ?
more info and pics of manual scavenge pump plz
Yes the pump will run off the main belt. I sent pictures to Jeremy. Once he gets a minute to set them up, I will post them for you,

how much longer do you tink it will be till your done?
I hope by next weekend I will have the kit fully mocked up for a final fit. Once that happens, I will send it out to be coated. After that, assembly and oil feed and return and hook up the gates and boost controller. I would like to see it run in about two months. As long as I can find the time away from work

For both sides or just the drivers side?
Driver side only. The passenger side fit but I cut off the black tab you see in the pictures above.

Thanks for the support everybody. Building your own kit is a process. The funny thing is, now that I have it welded up I already want to change how I ran some of the piping. I won't though because of cost and I want to try the system out to see what type of bugs pop up.

Awesome. Simply awesome. Love the turbo placement and those brackets/flanges.
I'll be interested to see how the 2 bolt flanges work on the exhaust manifolds.

Hey thanks guys.

I'm gonna try to have the system mocked up on the car this weekend, but it is not looking good. So maybe next week.

Think you will have a problem with the brake line being so close on one of those first pics or is that just the camera angle?

You make a very good point and I was going to mention this. Guys, these pictures can be very missleading. Some of the system on the car has room, but the pictures make it look tight. While some of the stuff on the car doesn't seem that close but really is.

The brake lines are something I am a little worried about. I plan to use thermal wrap in critical areas so that it helps prevent a major issue.

If the brakes become spongy one the system gets hot, than I am going to re-run the brake lines.

Thanks for all the support and insight,
Glenn

I would do that sooner than later personally, a few bucks there might possibly save you more if you lose your brakes.
