Damn Dan, I cant believe I never saw this thread, I would've been watching your build... Well, I will now... :D

Dan, did you address the deck issue on the block? Its really important that the head and deck surface be in top condition before putting that HKS mhg on there, even if you're using ARPs...

Also, Im a little concerned about that IC... Not just the piping, but only 2" thick? It's going to severly restrict the air flow... I dont think the stock IC piping is 2 inches... Seriously, I wouldnt do anything smaller than a 2.5 or 3 inch inlet and outlet...

Just throwin that out there...

I did address the deck issue with the block that was taken care of for the MHG.

oh and the IC is 3" thick i made a typo and didnt realize it till now sorry about that the inlet and outlet are 3" also so im hoping it should be good enough.

Why is your turbo aiming at your ceiling? Good job on posting pictures of everything. I never got to see the picture of your silver fender. My computer won't let it come up. Some kind of anti crap............lol

I payed 150 shipped some guy on ebay spelled intercooler wrong his lost is my gain.

Oh and the turbo is mounted that way just for pics I wanted to see how the turbo fits on that mani that was custom fabed by one of my friends.

I may go with some new model of the ebay manifold that on ebay that has a flange for a 38mm wastegate.
