Yes sir. Last night we started the piping. While we were in there doing the injectors, we also did a qore tuck too. Since I added a rare jdm harness cover. But everything interior is done. Just need to put the intercooler on and then reassemble the front end. I will post pictures once I get home.

Im also adding a sparco harness bar and harnesses too. And adding black sparco r100 seats. And before anyone asks, I am using those seats because the lok nice. BUT importantly because they fit me real nice. I didn't want anything crazy for a seat. Just a subtle cosmetic improvement over stock. But also something that I can uses harmesses with.

At this point all I have to do as far as installing things are
Wategates and extended tubes
Connect exhaust
Put front end back on
Make new turbo intake tubes
As far as the intake tubes go, there is a local here that is running the same set-up. He has been gracious enough to allow me to borrow the tubes so I can have a shop fab me up some.
After I get those tubes made and on, I should have the whole front end back on, including the intercooler and rest of the pipes. Upon doing that, I just need to add fluids and check for leaks..
I am still planning on towing the car to the dyno to be tuned this year. I am planning on having it all done in the next few weeks. So far everything has gone pretty smooth. Between me and a buddy, we have approximately 16 hours total into this. So not too bad. We are for sure taking our time, trying to make sure everything is correct. We also have goofed off alot, I mean alot lol.

yeah no problem. I really don't know what I will run into with the ps line. I know that side is very crowded. There doesn't even seem to be enough room to route the intercooler pipe in there. I guess I will find out soon enough. There is a bracket on the back side of the alternator that holds the power wire to the stater and alternator, and I removed that so I can gain a little extra clearance. But we will see what the final outcome is.

Yeah I will for sure let you know how it goes. so far it has been really self explanitory.. Not too hard at all. Im glad my friend and I are doing this ourselves. I was contemplating sending it to a shop for a bit because of my time constraints, But I am glad we are doing it. This was if anything goes wrong, I have had my hands on everything and can fix it.
