setup looks awsome. I like how the piping is bolted to that side of the engine. Gives me a good idea on how to anchor mine since it's vibrating.
question, did you reclock that turbo drain since it's pointing sideways instead of downwards like it's supposed to? garrett says no more than 15* off of complete vertical for proper draining function. Even with a pump this looks like oil would pool in the housing when the car is off (and pump off) therefore leaking oil through the seals. IDK, i'm not an engineer, i'm just going off of what garrett posts on proper installation (since i used that info for doing mine).

Correct, even though there is a return pump, it still relies on gravity to drain out of the housing correctly. It looks to me as if there is simply not enough clearance to have it drain straight down, or even at the recommended angles. Wonder if that's the reason for the smoke in the video?
hopefully we'll see updates later this week....

I like how coolant sprayed damn near every pipe in the kit. What happened there? And the intercoolers off to the left about 2 inches, i assume its for functionality. Having the turbo drain so drastic is going to cause smoking. you should put some bolts in the turbo as well, (it helps seal exhaust gas in).

wow and you arent too bright. as far as bolts in the turbo, we took that one off to finalize fitment of the actual bracing for the turbo. those are water spots on the pipe from hurricane alex idiot. why are you such a smart ***? we are adjusting the turbo drain and making sure everything is broken down and cleaned up before giving the car back to the customer.
