Default Pictures of my finished Setup (but didn't start car)



(shot of front of car)



(shot of engine bay)



(shot of turbo and piping and oil feed line)



(side shot of everything)



(gauge pod and gauges)



(other side of pod and gauges)



(oil line "T" in the back of the block) (sender and feed line)



(right side of car and IC piping)



(VAFC temporary placement)



(again)



(Charge pipe and BOV)



(complete shot of all of IC piping)

Well here's the word on the car.

There are no pics of my oil return line going from the turbo to the oil pan because I didn't get done with that until REALLY late and matt had already left. (ill have some pics of that later in the week hopefully) Looks nice though but i need some thoughts on it. (cuz it's backwards lol) (but im gonna pour a cup of oil down it just to test to see if it flows well)

It's all finished EXCEPT i forgot to clean out the piping because there are metal scraps in there from the cutting and stuff Also I didn't add oil yet either.

If I would have done these two things I could have started it, but as everyone knows from before, the o2 housing is facing the block and i dont really want to melt it with 800 degree heat. I tried to go to Top Street in milwaukee to get a temporary downpipe made that goes to the road but they were friggin closed So i still haven't started it.

BUT this gives me a chance to order the STRAIGHT! o2 housing from cheapturbo.com for an internal wastegate, that way ill have plenty of room and can get a custom dowpipe made and it wont face the block. (like this one)
It's only $25 and it seems to work well, i've seen smoe pics from someone else. So i hope that answers ur question. If it doesn't let me know.

For the thank you's.

nice setup! love the manifold, but I think you could have used less piping on the right side, you may lose some pressure from too much piping, but everything else nice.

Thanks! Keep the replies comin!

Yeah, it was actually physically impossible to run the piping the way i would have liked to so now im stuck with that Just not enough room and the way the oil lines worked out. Ill see how it goes.

Also, on the IC i actually didn't get this one off of ebay In fact, i dont even have an account.

I bought this off a starion/conquest forum... Actually I bought 2 for the price of one. I got an AMAZING deal on that thing! ($70)
Thanks for all of the replies and ill keep u updated, im a little worried about the piping on the car though now I've seen some other setups and they had it like mine, so hopefully it'll work. If i woulda gone under the car i believe i'd of used the same amount actually i hope
