I ain't done yet for this year. Most of you know about my headgasket issues, well new one installed today, but won't be able to test it just yet...waiting on my header, but I did start on my downpipe...
There will be more changes made after the location of the turbo is determined, I know where I want it to go, but we'll see if that's where it ends up.

Looks good Curt keep posting!!
Lanman31337 -F = fatties = do not want. A little chunk in the junk is ok though.
Next update will be in a week or so. Depends on how long it takes for fabrication of the header. I've enlisted the help of Adam at Atomic Fabrications.

Nothing really to update, going to Atomic's shop tomorrow to iron out the details. Hopefully by the end of the weekend *fingers crossed* there will be something to have pics of. As of right now this is all I've got...
That's about where the turbo will sit
And Petey has his new flange on...

that'll be one heck of an elbow around the valve cover for the hot side. or is there room to run over top like on the cobalts? i think your hood in particular you are limited to height. looks hella sweet right there.

I've got a few options with the elbow off the turbo.
A.) I can clock the compressor housing to the back, put a 90 on it and just tie in.
B.) I can see if I can run the pipes right over the valve cover and eliminate a 90
C.) Run the 90 off the turbo, if it doesn't clear the hood, and just continue the pipes as they were before the header.
This is the last pic I've got of the piping, I did change it a bit after this, but you can see how I could easily just turn the 90 into the turbo after a lil trimming on the pipe.

I've got a much much better idea...considering that's a standard log manifold, and I am now the proud owner of an Atomic Top Mount

Working with what I had. Yeah it's going to look pieced together. When I actually take the time to look around at different parts and such I'm sure something better will come of it, but for working with what I had, it's alright. I'm not happy with it, but that just means it'll get better

Results from the butt dyno are in...on low boost is a lot nicer than before, it's almost tolerable. High boost...HOLY HELL!!! and I didn't even have it all the way to 30psi yet.
I was a little bored and was looking through photobucket a lil today...
