Thanks guys! I got the IC piping mocked up tonight. I'm gonna tack it together and then weld it all up once I get the trans in and the engine sitting exactly where it's gonna be. I've got it real close now I think, but I don't want any surprises later. It may need some minor adjusting.

Too bad the green masking tape wouldn't hold it.......It would be done! LOL!!

Thanks bud. I still have a lot of work to do, but I finally feel like I'm making some progress. I planned on putting the line for my boost gauge in the hot side before the turn. Should I put the map line there too, or in the "Y" ?

I had the map in the hit side. That way it'll see a couple higher psi thinking it'll fuel a little more.

I made bungs to weld in the pipe. I was gonna put some in both sides in case I ever want to do water/meth or something. I thought about welding one in the "Y" just for whatever. Might be good to have them in the hot side, cold side, and the "Y" to experiment with moving the map and boost lines around for comparison. I can just plug the ones I don't use.

Wow that setup looks killer! Dang good job. I would run my MAP line on the hotside pipe. It helps prevent boost lag that people see with the IC. Although with that turbo I doubt you will have much trouble with that.

Looks great Bill! I moved both the map and boost line from the Y where Jake had it set up to the hot side.

Umm, Nitrous!!

Looks good Bill! You're probably going to want to add a SD style oil filler riser to make it easier to get the juices flowing, though.
