Default My sol is now turboed! *Pics*

Well after 15 hours of installation this weekend everything is done. My setup consists of:
- Garrett T3 turbo bolted to HF manifold with 2.5" downpipe.
- 450cc injectors tuned with SMC+.
- Eclipse 2g side mount intercooler.
- TurboXS RFL blow off valve with 2.5" charge pipes.
- Stainless steel AN-3 oil lines and AN-4 coolant lines.
- Homemade boost controller set @ 6 psi.
- Autometer Phantom boost and air/fuel guage.

The only real problem I ran into was that the wastegate was hitting the block and I couldnt get the manifold on all the way. So I drilled new holes in the WG bracket to slide it in a lil bit more, grinded down then block 'webbing' a lil bit and added an extra exhaust gasket to make it all fit tightly.


56k beware:

I have to agree that is a nice and clean install. I would suggest moving that air filter away from the turbo. That thing is going to be sucking up the heat from the turbo and the engine. Your damn lucky you don't have a/c!! Your engine bay looks tighter than mine.
