Once it's back from exhaust I should have everything I need to get it running. I still have to figure out my clutch issue, it's not building enough pressure it seems (the pedal has very little resistance), throw the rest of the parts at it I've been stockpiling, and hope for the best. I'm trying to get it running for the good weather

I broke my camera, so I'll have to use crappy iphone pics :(.
Turbo to downpipe flange ETD racing recommended putting the EGT probe here on the downpipe vs on the manifold itself as they've had problems with them cracking in the past. The temperature difference between the 2 locations should be negligible:
routed the wastegate dumptube back into the exhaust:
I would have liked a shallower "entry" but space was very limited. The downpipe is 2.5" (couldn't get 3" to clear the TII bellhousing), then it expands to 3" all the way back, all 409 stainless steel. There are very minimal bends, and it's tucked up fairly high for ground clearance. This thing is going to sound mean!
Slight bend at the rear for a left exit:

couple more of the exhaust with it still on the trailer:
I also had him make my intercooler pipes out of 2.5" mild steel. I'm going to go back and fab up the BOV flange (didn't like how my last one turned out) as well as the IAT bung and the IAC tube.

No room for a radiator fan on the right side eh? Or is that a optical illusion?
Also, I don't know what the delta_T across a turbine is, but I doubt it fit my definition of negligible. But better that then a cracked mani I guess.

Doesnt look like there will be enough space for a second (stock) fan. Some spal low pro fans will probably be fine.
Iphone pictures aren't very bad at all, 3GS? my 3Gs pix are not very good at all.

When I get the car up I'll take some better pictures of the clearance. The clearance issue for 3" downpipe vs 2.5" also arises from the ETD manifold- it left the turbo and wastegate in an awkward position. The smaller pipe allowed for a more direct path. It expands to 3" right after the bellhousing; the 2.5" section is very short.
