here are a few pics of the turbo install in progress...
here's the injectors installed w/ new clips
here's the manifold in on the car
now here's the 2 problems we're running into...
the flanges don't line up
the reason is because the turbo hits the firewall
here's the results of this
this is the first step we're taking to hopefully fix the problem. we're welding the exhaust flange directly to the manifold.
here's the manifold before it went back into the shop to get machined.
here's the intercooler mounted on the car
here's where i'm getting the oil feed
while waiting for the drill to charge to make our tap for the oil return, we decided to see how the gauge pod fit. its mean for a 95-00 model, but with just the slightest modification, its going to work very nicely.
here's the turbo mounted on the car
we started the intercooler piping
2 primered pieces and 1 painted and a close up to see the color
here's the rest of the intercooler piping on the car before it got painted
here's the bend that goes around the battery through the fender
here's the piping done and on the car
here's the downpipe...this was a little harder to fabricate then what we though
well, i finally got the car started last nite and OMG!! now if my thermal sleeves come in for a few lines, i'll be back on the road. i did get 3 pics before it got dark though.
here's the bov and FMU mounted
here's the final resting place for the computer. i couldn't get a pic of the fuel pump, but its mounted by the fmu, just under the computer bracket.
1 problem i'm running into
the car has been done for the last 2 wks, but i haven't had a chance to post any pics, but here's a few final pics...
a nice hidden shot of the intercooler
one last shot of the engine bay
