A long time? Probably about 15 hrs total. keep in mind i fabbed everything except the 90's. But, still they had to be modified. is that a decent time?

All of the piping I bought was less than $100. I had my friend bend me 8 2.5" 90 degree bends, and one 1.25" 90 degree bend(for the wastegate). It was alot of work, specially for one person. But I love it, and it sounds amazing! I didnt drive it yet. so im prolly not gonna sleep much tonight.

Did you route back into the stock exhaust, or do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

I have 2.5" custom exhaust w/ a side exit tip.

Looks realy good man

Only problem I foresee is maybe your W/G dumptube cracking b/c you didn't use flexpipe there. It may be cloe enough to the exhaust that you don't have a problem, but typically when you don't use flex pipe it cracks b/c that tube never stays the same temperature as the downpipe.

Otherwise, get the thing on the dyno and tuned!!!

Nope its really close to the exhaust, thats probably only 2.25" of pipe. I dont tihnk ill have a problem, i hope not ! Yeah I'll get it on the dyno this spring. The closest dyno to me is 2 housr away. HPT racetrack opens April 4 so we'll see quarter mile times then. thanks for the input, if it cracks you can tell me "i told ya so".

Pipes really aren't even close to the wheel, its just the angle.

Did you keep your A/C compressor in ? and how far did you put your EGT probe and o2 sensor from the turbo?.

I didnt remove any factory components. The EGT sending unit is about 10" from the turbo. There is not o2 sensor in bank one, Casper Simulator.
