Well, I snapped a pic (thanks for the approval, Dave
) It's hard to get a good shot under the hood w/out standing on the core support, but you get the idea! I'm still impressed on how much this mod helped spoolup...and it's not just because I hear this turbo more, either, I'm going just by the gauge movement. I used to wait, then it would snap to 10psi and climb from there. Now I can watch it smoothly and quickly climb through the single digits then on up the scale. No power increase, of course, but for around town it definitely aids drivability. And, the whistle out the stack is much louder, making me think the setup as a whole is less restrictive.

Yeah, I've been experimenting with some different things, but thanks for noticing I'd like to box that entire fenderwell in somehow, but I can't quite wrap my brain around it...I've got my old tin smokee mount on there for now, just not in the pic.
