Thanks for the compliments.

booksix, the clearance on the inner fenderwell is tight. I'm confident that it will still be ok while driving.

I just got my PMAS back from recal, so it's time to finish up the cold side!

Nice!  I wish I was that far along.  I have NO piping done yet.  I have to make headers, all the cold and hot sides and build my MS wiring harness.  I should start making some progress in about 2 months when I have more free time and some help.

Anyway, keep the updates coming.  I want to see a "firing up" video soon!!

So, what you mean is, you think those meats will still tuck up behind the fender lip without hitting?

Another question:

Is your intercooler going to clear the brace that goes from the lower core support up to the header panel (and has part of he hood latch on it)?  I have an AC condenser and a bigger, dual inlet IC and I need to completely refab this brace.  It looks like your IC might fit, but thought I'd ask.

Update: I have the complete hot and cold side installed! I need to adjust a few pieces and final tighten everything. I am surprised how easy the downpipe fit. I guess the tubular k-member has helped. The caster/camber plates are making the inlet pipe a tight fit. The list of things to do before starting the car is still long: battery into trunk, inline pump, boost a pump, install all gauges, etc, etc.

Booksix: I'll get some better pics of the rear tires for you. The intercooler inlet tube is actually hittting the support right now.

Nice work!  You're really moving!  I excited FOR you, wish I was moving that fast!

I was actually talking about the thin sheet metal brace that comes up right in the dead center of the back of the header panel, not the pieces the bumper bolts to.  Any issues with this?

I didn't think about that. Guess I will figure it out when I get there.

Here are some pics of everything together. Installed the drivers side alt. I will have to shorten some of the intercooler piping that runs to the intake. The elbow into the tb will also need some work due to the c/c plates. Also, the wastegate ended up in a funny spot and will need some extra time.

I am going to get away from the engine bay for awhile and move onto the underside: d/s loop, inline pump and filter and exhaust.
