Yes everything is on. We ran into a lot of issues so far the biggest surprise was the forged performance oil feed lines. The fittings going into the turbo s were wrong. So we are using the banjo fittings from the greddy kit. All the issues are because I purchase d a used kit and it is missing a lot of pieces. So far we spent more time trying to find parts versus actual work.

Yes we are doing all the work at my place on jack stands. It sucks but can be done.
We did pull the motor and trans as one unit.
As of right now we are at a stand still, as I am needing more parts.
Escobar: when you pull the motor and trans as one unit, you need to make sure you clear a line on the rack and pinion. Its tough but uf you have a extra set of hands it will really help.

looks good. one note is i would return the oil lines to the crankcase. i know it's very popular to return to the lower pan, but it's better off to return to the upper imho. ive spoken to a couple of shops about which one to choose and all the big hp z shops agreed that if you are able to it's technically better to do so. don't mean to nitpick, but it's something i would do on my car if i didnt have a seperated turbo oiling system.

Well we have the motor 90% in. I will have pictures in a few. I never found the gaskets I needed, but found the material to mske my own. It is also a tad bit harder on install because we left the driveshaft in and now its being a biotch.

its going to smoke with having your turbo oil drain so low in the oil pan... oil drain can't be below the oil line or your drain hose will back up and force oil out the turbo seals
