I'm gonna try the law of gravity.


I didn't go to law school but don't they say that oil can't flow uphill? Also what turbo is that and what are you doing for fuel management?
The turbo is above the drain to the oil pan so it should drop right into the oil pan. I have a boost referenced fuel regulator, that's about all the fancyness this car gets unless tuning says i need otherwise.

I'll get more pics of everything when the car is driveable.

No, that is so the draglite wheels clear the brake calipers....

While I do agree with that, the guy works like 16 hours/day so time isn't really available to work on cars. :-\

Looks good Mike. When do I get to go for a ride? :D

i definatly woudl take more pride in building my car myself, rather than letting someone else do it. but thats just me, this also doesnt mean if i was rich i wouldnt send a vette out to lingenfelter and have them whip me up a twin turbo 427.

but i think the experience of building your own stuff is more fullfilling
