Cut your hoses and straighten out that clamp. If those 2 pipes are touching, I could weld them together if you mark them with a sharpie, if you want. But you probably don't seeing how you didn't want me to do it entirely, duh. haha.
Where is the air filter going? Looking good so far.

Hot side of the intercooler is done.
Coolant lines and bypass done. Custom t-splice in lower radiator hose done, 5/16 fitting tapped into water inlet for turbo cooling.

Oh yeah, keep meaning to tell you Artie. OG might have a spare vortec sitting around you can use to raise your fuel pressure.
I was at 83% max DC on my 460s when I made 270rwhp.

I run 6 year old RC440's and high boost. Hopefully high hp too...
Somewhere around 45psi static fuel pressure. I think I kiss low 80's at 14psi and 7200rpm. I think. Whatever.
When I made 270rwhp I was in the 70's injector duty cycle.

Nice pictures Artie. I hope that lower longass bracket isn't the only thing holding hte intercooler in. I'm sure you guys did brackets to the top intercooler bosses too.
You aren't driving the car until you have the entire intercooler plumbing, right?!
How's the volume? Paul sent me a video of the car running but cell phone quality sucks.
Keep an eye on the oil drain fitting in the oil pan for oil leaks. I suggested JB weld but my dad wasn't going to clean off the sludge on your oil pan and risk it leaking anyways. hehe I agree. There was enough thread depth to use teflon tape so you should be ok.
EDIT: Again, remember to retighten the bolts and nuts on the turbo after a few heat cycles.

It's much quieter than the Machine, not as quiet as the Daily.
His car is sitting in my driveway still. (6 ******* Miatas outside when no friends are over. It's ridiculous.) It will not be driven till the cold side piping and filter are done.

Just ordered the 550s and had them sent to Injector Rehab. They said they still give the mt.net discount even though they're not a supporting vendor anymore. Intercooler couplers should be in on friday.
