Just over the intake pipe, I can see what looks to be a rectangular flange, but it definitely isn't a v band

You don't need to go angling for feedback, i already +1'd you. Just joking, your turbo setup is great and you're a good seller. Hopefully when i get back into school for Mechanical Engineering, i'll be able to sell stuff when needed too!

Still looking for IC, DP, manifold, injectors, oil/water lines... then i think i'm done for the turbo.

Still need an NB subframe, steering rack, 01-05 engine and a vvt controller box before that goes on though.

So what's the turbo progress with your build? Also, I thought you only needed 4 eccentric alignment bolts :|

No turbo progress in yet. Still waiting for my VVT engine to be delivered, hopefully by thursday.

After that I need something to control the VVT, injectors, then a downpipe and manifold.

2 per lower wishbone.

2 x 4 = 8
