Turbo is mocked up in its future permanent home. Had to fabricate a v-band adapter to clearance the turbo and allow for rotation to ease the angle on the down pipe entrance and delete the water lines that used to feed the OEM "oil cooler"
Will have the exhaust fabrication done today and all parts that need to be cerakoted will be sent off. Will update with photos later tonight or tomorrow.

: bend in old downpipe

: modified to fit new set up

: v-band adapter to move turbo away from block and allow for rotation so bend in downpipe is as little as possible

Everything is in mock up stage. I'll update with a couple new pics of the exhaust completed with the hangers installed and how it sits in the tunnel before everything is sent off to cerakote, when I'm back in the shop this weekend.

This is impressive! Are you doing all this welding yourself?

Everything is now out for Cerakote

Modified the water tree. Factory fuel pump hanger in order to use the upgraded pre-filter that came with the Deatchwerks pump. And mocked up the fuel lines and in-line fuel filter. Came up short on a few fittings to finish out mocking up the regulator.

Will be out of the shop for a few days. But when I return, I should have everything back from Cerakote along with all of the fittings needed to finish the fuel system and the Setrab oil cooler.
