Looks like you have plenty of room in that engine bay for a massive turbo!

If you're so worried about the brake fluid overheating, why not wrap the proportioning valve too? You're wasting heat-wrap btw.

I have my spreadsheet at work so this is a guess. Maybe 18 mani/downpipe combos and 6 manifold only's since I got my Tig 6 years ago. Of those 18 combos, maybe 10 were vband stuff?

Well the turbo is back-ordered! So will be here soon I hope. The transmission is the 2nd generation turbo (TII) and clutch will be a fidanza 7 1/4" with tilton dual disc.

The car is a road race car though. You can see the adapter plate in the picture.

Hope I am not high-jacking the thread!!!

Long time, no update.

Still making progress, slowly but surely. Spring is here and I need to get this thing done!

Finished the wastegate dump tube:






Custom lower coolant reroute and blockoff plate:








Coolant distribution manifold:






New Rims!



And lets see if anyone can guess what this might be for...

Finished up the coolant lines:







Intercooler piping is done as well, just needs some polishing...





And started working on my cold air box. I have a bunch of 1mm titanium sheet that i scored at work, so I decided to use it for the airbox. This was my first time working with Ti and al I can say is "what a pain in the ***".

Not a flare fitting. Just a 3/8-16 threaded hole.
