Id wrap the AC hose near the dumptube with some thermal tape.

Any pics of the oil return line?

I'm pretty sure you need to use both vac sources on the wastegate when using an EBC.

Also, the NX kit is garbage, I would take it off and sell it while it's still pretty new.

looks good, i'd pitch that ractive filter in the weeds though, they have a tendancy to suck that inner cone into the impeller wheel causing damage to the turbo.

is that the intake set that came w/ the drag piping? It looks nothing like mine, mine is just cast aluminum and the filter is right up against the coolant overflow.

thx thx...as far as the turbo kit it's all drag parts...i'm already in the process of doin a Dart bottom end with all crower and endyn parts so i can see some real boost...the fans had to be attacked to the radiator first then install which gave me more room to mount the mani and DP....anyone have tips about gettin my bay cleaner....i still gotta keep the ac thou AZ is hot as hell...any of converting ABS to non ABS....as far as the grounds all my grounds have been changed to heavier gauge...i have a 250 alt...for the stereo..i work for a chain in AZ stereo is top on my list for parts....any recommendations for a air filter...i just did the dump tube today at my buddy shop...what a POS it took like 5hours...3 bent piecs just for the dump had to weld them to gether and then finished hookin up the exhaust..the back pressure helped a little i think..plus it sounds way better...i hate those super loud cars...i'd rather hear my car spoonin...thx again for ur comments
