A Few Upgrades... FF Comp Turbo, JM Fab, 4inch downpipe

Making a few changes over the winter. Probably putting a dog box in the car before spring gets here. But, here are a few pics of the progress.

The Tial 60mm wastegate has now been tied back into the downpipe. Came out nice. Now to start on the charge pipe from the turbo to the intercooler. Will be 3 inch aluminum.

BTW, I know most people dump their wastegate to atmosphere, but I don't like the noise it makes and I don't "need" the extra flow since the downpipe is 4 inch. Just personal preference.

Can you get a close-up pic of your ps pump? I'd like to do AN lines to mine.

Car looks great! That is a big-*** turbo haha.

Real nice manifold, i like how you have perfect access to each of the studs, some of these companys have some studs in impossible spots.

Thanks. A couple of the fittings were actuallyade/fabricated both for the rack and pump. I'm away and can't get pics right now, but not sure they would help anyway since you have to fabricate several.

Very nice man, but I'm curious, if it's an FF kit, why is the turbo aimed at the headlight? I see some people do this and it doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't it kill the ram air effect or the whole reason for going FF Turbo? I only ask because I honestly don't know and would like to.

Thanks

4" downpipe...No way it will fit without rotating the turbo that way.
