Eh, Good enough =D



Motor mount bracket





Fuel filter bracket, flex fuel sensor bracket, and intercooler mounts



Fuel filters





Installed



ProEFI flex fuel sensor



Clutch pressure sensor, launch control, who makes an adapter for that? Added to a clutch delay valve bypass, works!



Motor mount relocated about 8" further forward, lots of room for a turbo!



Partially plumbed necessary before install. It's a little tight in there!

Manifold installed, pretty nuts



GTX installed



Tight fit



Wastegate dumps



Intake and heat shield



ProEFI harness, not so pretty. Problem solved



Oil cooler brackets/ducts



Red Stoptech's, unnacceptable!



Lots of parts



Ready for powdercoat

OK, at the risk of getting flamed, I'm just super curious what this guy does for a living? I mean the time, money and energy spent doing this is incredible, and for all intents and purposes I'm ubber-jealous....I mean even all the photos/editing is incredibly time consuming. Hat's off to 'ya!
