thanks.. also look at the right side of my hood with the EVO intercooler.. you can see all the black left overs from breaking my driver side mount, which was full of some oil crap. It's now welded solid

notched my block for the A/C compatible setup.. let me tell you, this was a PAIN IN THE ------- *** because it was scorching hot yesterday, and I had to work with a dremel and cut-off wheels that kept breaking. also the nuts and bolts on my exhaust were seized up, and I was stuck at home since my gf was at work.. turbo is about to be bolted up so I can finish making the down pipe

turbo mounted.. the wastegate isn't mounting because it hits the head. I'm thinking about blocking it off for now until I can get a cheap wastegate elbow from ebay or something.. i'll baby it until the wastegate is mounted
first cut for my downpipe clears the a/c compressor by about 3/4"
