They are just hung over the fender right now.
This is a functional car. I'm not going to do dumb shot like relocating the fuse box to under the dash or in my wheel well
It will look clean still though. That is the goal here. It makes working on (non electrical) things much easier.
I am finishing the fit-up of the manifold sunday. I just need to fit the hood to make sure there are no issues with fitment before final welding.
Edit: who has an lc-1 controller mounted somewhere you can't see?
That **** is sore thumb status.

That looks mighty fine. The placement on the turbo looks quite good but I would put some sort of a heat shield between the hot side and the head just to be safe. How are you going to route the ic piping?
My lc1 controller is on the shelf but I am going to be mounting it in the cabin under the dash somewhere and getting rid of the extra wire

Because it's a real Garrett. No chinacharger. 
It's your standard 2871 Garrett. With a 0.86 hotside.
I will get a new grinder and finish mock up this weekend. I may be an elbow short though to finish the 4th runner.

Material is 1-1/4" sh10 stainless.
The finish will be alot better when I clean it up prior to final welding which will give it that nice stainless color like you would see from other manifolds...

What do you mean dg?
the container on the right with the lines is my power steering resevoir and associated lines to go to my power steering pump and my power steering cooler.
The catch can (beside it to the left) isnt hooked up yet, but will have 2 -12 fittings welded on the valve cover with a single -10an line plumbed into a slant fitting on the exhaust.
