yeah for the boost gauge. Steven, if you don't mind I'll take a pic. I'm more a visual learner.
Bought some bolts today to bolt up the turbo to the exhaust manifold, some "Ts", and different size hose clamps. So most of the small stuff is out of the way. I'm getting anxious to get this stuff on the car.

Here. Standing over the passenger side strut looking down. Just tee into this line. This is correct JRR, Steven, Hornstar?
edit* nevermind....its the one at the top of the fpr.

thanks for the pic bro. Now I know where to connect.
One last question before I start taking pics of everything I got. I have the walbro pump and the WRX 440 injectors should I wait till after I install the turbo and have the car running well to put the injectors and the pump in? Put the pump in for now and leave and put the 440s later? or just put both on now??
The only reason I ask because I don't have any experience with tuning (mitsukid you might have to come up and help me out bro) and imma be running only 5 psi so adding the injectors and scaling them will add another variable to that. For this reason I'm waiting till later on to add the evo MAF on. Or am I just being dumb and I should just put everything on at the same time??

here ya go, its right right next to the Throttle body,
you pull on of the these hoses and you connect the supply line to the turbo which is the metal line, and the return to your throttle body and it should recirculate everything through without a problem, plus its easier

it looks like imma start tomorrow. I was going to wait till the weekend but it looks like we are going to install the tranny into the mother-in-law's saturn that we pulled from the junkyard this weekend. The father-in-law said that it would work out better this way so tomorrow it starts. I plan on doing the maintenance stuff tomorrow like timing belt,headgasket as well as tapping the oil pan tomorrow. We'll see. This will be my first time doing many of this things so imma make sure we take our time. Pulling things off is easy for me the making sure everything is put back correctly is where the father in law comes in. Wish me luck guys. Imma start another thread in a little bit with pics of everything I have.

that nut from hell is nothing bro. I just loosen up the accessory belt, loosened up the bolts holding the power steering pump and moved it towards me a little bit, stuck a wrench in and boom easy access. I had to do that when I put my ebay headers on.

this is getting good 2 lancers being turbo charged I can't wait to see the outcome of both, im doing the evo 8 front end swap so I hope all projects go good the next 2 weeks because thats when im going to start bolting everything up. My main concern is the frame support!
