backwards too.
EDIT: I'm glad to see it went together with one person Nick. I do it by myself but have had a lot of experience and sorta know how get it together on my back and in what order, etc. I am thinking of ways of making it easier...that burns doubleslip stuff is theoretically **** but as you guys can tell the 3" section is more of a PITA than it should be. I think an extra $30 for a v-band instead of the double slip would be more ideal (vband may be the same price ultimately for the next builds I may do, cause there's a lot of fab time in there to get that 3" slip to actually go together, may redos there). And find a damn way to get a 1.5" flex in there somewhere.

buy inconel wire...no more chances. I think I'm going to start with the TiAL bolts I already bought, wired with inconel, and if that fails I will use the "nimonic" **** from Williams F2. I'd rather drill on the $10 hardware than drill on the $130 nut and stud combo that is sure to wreck my life.
I was able to point my charge pipes "down" unlike most others with the AF stuff and I just had Abe/ARTech use the old begi pipes.
BTW, I'm also thinking about trying to get the 11psi BOV spring to work becuase I had very high Silicon #'s on my last uoa most likely from the BOV staying open.

I plan to re do the charge pipes down, but my god damm drain is going to cut it really close. Happen to have any pictures of how it looks down there?
Link to cheapest place you found the safety wire? I actually ran out of SS wire last night so i need more anyways.

I would have preferred a v-band down there for future reference. For an addition 30-50 bucks it would be way worth it. Those doubleslip joints were a huge PITA to get together from under the car.

Now the 1.5" never gave me a problem on any of the downpipes.
I'm glad to hear you are happy so far. Did you get your BOV?

Nick, I can't find my damn oil-return pics. I used 45* swivel fittings and let it snake around, but never dipping below the pan fitting. I'm going to get ARTech to make a hardline for me soon.
I agree with the v-banding. I'm using cheap v-bands from "siliconeintakes.com" on my exhaust parts now because they're only $30 for 3" flanges and clamps combines. I think anything that you put on the DP or turbo of course should be the male/female tial greatness.
