Looks nice

Just one question...

I noticed you have your compressor sitting on the same side as your wastegate...how are you routing your dumptube? Is there room to route it around the compressor without heating the compressor up from the heat off the dumptube?

I'm Going to round a dump tube around the turbo to the downpipe and head down from there, or atleast that is the plan, we will see what happens at the muffler shop saturday

EDIT: ME SPEAK ENGLISH GOOD... What I meant to say was I'm going to run the dump tube around the turbo and into the downpipe, or atleast that is the plan.

Thanks, i spent $1500 on everything, and it should be a reliable setup (if the manifold holds up, i'm bracing the hell out of it, so it better!)

Looks nice, I like how you have the intercooler sprayed flat black. That will hide it until they see your brake lights as you are slowing down so they can catch you to just do it all over...

if you put a flange or a welded bead around the pipe the rubber couplers work fine

dont u think it would be easier to just by some reinforced silicone tubing? I paid 40$ for a 3ft tube... i used about 1/3 of it so I couldve only spent about $13 for 5 couplings.... http://www.ebay.com is your friend

You think that's bad? You should see mine I replaced it because it was dented and I wanted to have a fresh one, so I went and got the -10an return welded on it, bolted it on, and on the very first drive after installing it I hit a frigging rock the size of a football in the middle of the road. Dented it worse than the old one ever was dented... oh well... I'm not replacing the bastard again, oil pressure is fine LOL.

Connectors are rubber, and they hold up to 7psi no problem, I really cranked those suckers down

The oil pan is dented to hell, and that is actually my second pan, the one that came with the motor was dented so bad it was leaking, this one more or less bolted up, I had to beat the middle down witha hammer, but it fits
