Well it's been some time since the last update, been busy working on some shop related business.

So we'll pick up with getting the turbo manifold piping installed, 'this is no attempt to brand bash' however we have to be honest, this was suppose to be a turbonectics kit, however for some reason absolutely nothing fit. everything was modified, I'm not saying that if you order a turbonectics kit it won't fit just our luck.

Had all types of problems with the y-pipe not fitting, most of the problem was in the u-pipe being off: this is how much we modified it.



The up-pipe was off aswell, again you can see the modifcation.



Making of the custom crossover pipe:







Finished Custom made cross over pipe:



Everything all done & heat wrapped:



Up-pipe with wastegate:



Extra up-pipe brace added:



Up-pipe installed w/heat wrapped and finally fitting, new a/c line also installed pictured here:



Getting all the lines, fittings etc. together:



Turbo mounted, fittings/lines made & installed:







While all of this was going on, we decided to surprise the customer and give it a Hybrid touch, by painting his intercooler piping pearl white to match the vehicle:

(paint, base coat white, black hybrid motorsports decal, pearl clearcoat seal)







Maf bung welded in, not bolted like turbonetics ic piping kit, this was done to aid in eliminating possible leaks:



The piping is a very tight fit due to large size, so our blow off valve was left homeless in it's normal ic piping position & the fact that it was paint wanted to keep a clean look, So:









now that we have our turbo in place we did turbo-to-intercooler piping short & efficient (also 3")
