Is the turbo being that close to the intake gonna be a problem?

Numbers are still going to suck. Maybe 310-320 again.

The turbo will fit in there with a decent sized filter on it. My sc61 with the 4" ported cover even fits.

My biggest concern is the heat all the hot piping is going to transfer. Going to use a turbine blanket and possibly some heat wrap. Engine bay is definitely more cramped....but oh well.

And as far as the "pie cuts" go.....I really didn't want to do them. I couldn't find anymore 2.5 elbows so.....yeah. I probably wasted more money on argon than it would be to buy the elbows....but I don't know of anywhere local for that.

A bag on the hotside of mine made a HUGE difference... it would probably be well worth doing one on this setup to reduce heat soak from radiating heat.

Night and day different on underhood temps with one.

Yeah a turbine bag for sure.

I don't know if I want to shell out the 100+ for a t1 bag.....or go a little cheaper on it elsewhere.

oh...and chad, I found the local rural king sold the gold lens for about $10 a piece. So I picked up a shade 9 and 10...and a cheap hood all for about $50.

Its not bad so far. The size of the lens is nice....and the color isn't that classic "night vision" view.

I had to modify the upper coolant pipe for clearance. Turned out ok, but still want to shorten the aluminum and use a longer hose to give it more room for movement.

Moving on to a charge pipe bracket....it will be mounted with a rubber spacer underneath, and maybe on top as well

Then some downpipe work. Most everything has at least quarter inch clearance.

A couple pics up crose

one of the backpurged inside of the pipe.

and of the outside
