Cool, what are the units? psi?

Did I miss how you set that up? A sensor in the distribution block?

I had to look up line lock... is there any other purpose for a line lock other than burnouts?

Dropped a spare motor in my car. Started on intercooler piping. Didn't even have to cut. Simple 90, 45" 2" pipe, then 2"-2.75" coupler. Other side will be similar. But a 45* pipe, 90* pipe, straight pipe.

Turbo looks a little too close to the frame or is it just the angle?

Can you make a 60* hose connector work between the turbo and intercooler pipe? (the 90* connector is kinking)

Might be too close. I have poly mounts so we will find out. Nothing a grinder can't fix.

I'm pretty sure I had it not kinking at one point. Just moving stuff around and angles. I'll play with it more before final install.

Got a lot done. Probably going to keep working on the intercooler piping and try and finish that tonight.

Needed a shorter coolant return, so cut and weld.

Ran another fuel line for feed, no leaks amazingly. Ran it up to 100psi for a few minutes, worked fine.

Got some intercooler pipes cut, no pictures.

I'm going to have a block vent that comes out from behind the alternator, drops down below the front of the motor, and is held with P-clamps in these bosses.

Intercooler piping is done minus one weld. Got bored, so off to other things. Very simple. 4 couplers, 4 welds. The hot side is a single 2" 45* pipe. Pretty awesome.

No worries about that vent line being below the catch can and the block vent?

Don't know yet. I'm hopeful that there will be enough gas flow to keep things clear, but if not I'll reroute it.

have a part # for that fuel filter? Any reason you mounted it in the engine bay other than for serviceability?

Photo dump. Charge piping and downpipe is complete, barely fits with the 245s, but it should work. I'm pretty stoked, feels like everything is finally coming together.

I mounted it up there because thats where all my AN lines are. Maybe eventually I will move it to where the normal filter is, but this was easy and I can show it off.
