aaron said it put down 545whp so I can't wait to actually get this on a dyno and see where it's at. I'm attempting to tune this myself so I'm going to start out on the waste gate spring which is 9psi and work my way from there

awesome. absolutely cannot wait for results from this beast.

id say reroute the ridiculous stock brake booster hose, though. just lop it off at the straight down by the block and go up to the booster from there. no reason it has to go clear the ef up around by the dipstick and all that. i never understood why gm did this...

anyways, looks good man. love all the coating.

yeah i planned on doing something with that brake booster hose, it doesnt please me where its at. My goal is to retain all manufacturers options on the car, hence why im still using cruise control. The intercooler even clears the fog lights, i just had to cut the bottom of the bumper a little bit to clear the piping. Im still debating on how to do the exhaust tho, straight thru muffler or chambered?

I'm not too much of a fan of how the dump tube merges with the downpipe... and the O2 sensor is too close to the turbo outlet. Needs to be 16-18" downstream from the outlet.

That's enough of the complaints, though!

For the coolant outlet I would find a shaped pipe in an "L" or a simple rubber L and some brass fittings and a bit more hose and extend the length of that coolant hose and have it come out of the firewall in an "L"...

I have AC with a turbo - it's glorious. Keep it. I've looked at all the pics and can't see the clearance to see if I can come up with an idea for your issue, though...

As David said the stock oil threading is 1/4" npt which you will step down to 1/8" for your feed and (hopefully) aftermarket oil pressure gauge. I've retained the stock gauge on my setup but honestly all these years later don't see the point. Leaving it unplugged has no ill effect on the cluster.

When did you sell the M62 kit?

UPDATE: Got the oil lines done for the turbo and also replaced few other lines with the left over an line i had. I completely ditched the factory sending unit and just attached a 1/4" npt to -6an fitting to the head and then -6an line directly to the turbo. I also did -10an return line direct to the pan with a 1/2"npt to -10an adapter.

Nice progress, though I think -6an is rather large for a feed line for the turbo??

Yea man id go with -4. Unless like Mark stated, go with a big enough restrictor. I even have a restrictor with my -4 feed. You will blow seals if too much oil, will smoke too.
