I'm really impressed on how clean your fenderwells, firewall and everything else is. It's a real biotch trying to keep all that stuff clean with all those damn hoses and wires and pipes running everywhere.

What turbo is that in the picture? Is It part of a kit or are you doing this from scratch? I'd love to be peaking over your shoulder thru the duration of your project.

As someone else said you must have great big ones! Good luck!

Well it's been a while since I've updated this, but another thread has reminded me to do so. Not a whole lot has changed since my last posts, just been buying a ton of parts Still waiting for the motor mounts and then it's off to the body shop and fabricator

Anyhow, here are some updated picts

I think I can pull a engine apart if I Forest Gump it but there is no way I can put it back

Thanks for all the replies guys!

To answer some questions, the fuel rail is made by ATP. I like it because there is nobodys name on it! As for the turbo, it's a dual BB turbo from ATP. The turbo is available for anyone to purchase, but the rest of the kit is fully custom. The manifold, exhaust, and IC piping will all be custom. Same with the body work

Here's some more updates.

Hmm which one will flow more?






Some other changes
