Looks great CHarles!

if you wiring is still undone can you check to see how many grounds you need to bolt down on the harness for the ign coils and injectors?

I only seem to have 1 (that used to ground to the top of the timing cover in the front of the motor) after my wire tuck and am tryin to see if I missed any others.

Its like any turbo setup!

Air goes from filter tubes to the turbos (not installed yet), from the turbos to the IC (not done yet), and from the IC to the throttle body / intake manifold (the piping you see is almost complete at the moment)

I will have to take a look, at the moment the only ground i can think of thats in the actual engine harness is on the rear cast aluminum coolant pipe... i have 2 ground on the timing cover on the passenger side but they are an independant ground harness that bolts to the passenger side "frame rail"
