Yes . We used the Ekk1 mounts with the stock cross memeber.
The stock fuel rail will be used.
All the intercooler piping is finished including the intake . The piping will now be polished . The piping has support brackets so not to stress the silicone connectors and cause leaks in the future, You can see one in the picture below on the right of the intercooler..The Tial Wastegate is mounted on the intercooler piping leading back to the thottle body.
Stay tuned"
The Intake tube also has a support bracket so the Silicone connector doesn't take all the weight of the intake and filter,We Use K+N Filters on all our turbo builds.

You'll be back, I strayed away a couple of times but I came back every time.
We have had a lot of things going on at the shop but we'll be back on the LHT400-K20 real soon.
Stay tuned.....

Bring the Jetta by, We can turbo pretty much anything.
OK, Here's another update:
We needed to run the IAT in the charge pipe after the intercooler so we can data log and tune by the real air temp. The Air temp sensor usually pushes into the rubber intake hose on the OEM peice. To prevent it blowing out under boost we came up with a Dia that would cut a thread onto the houses and tapped the thread into a pad on the piping.Problem solved. See pic.
Next, There isn't many places for a boost sorce, so we added a vacume bloack inline of the booster. There is one etra one for the future if needed.Problem sloved.
See pic.
We also build an LHT 3" exhaust with an inline resonator , Magnafolw muffler and finished off with one our 3" slash cut tips. The tip doesn't need to be bigger than the piping unless you want the "megaphone look" To add with the show quality look we polished the whole thing. The exhaust size is recomended for anything over 270whp, it will help spool up.

Well, we're still doing the small things that don't look too exciting. The wiring is undeway and we're building the catch can and breather can.
The piping is now fully polished and looks amazing, We are using Blue connector and we'll polish the stainless clamps to add to the show look.

Some shots of the piping and boost controller.
The Profec B is centered so a gauge can be install either side.
