Thanks for the pics man, it looks good! It looks like a pretty tight fit in this picture, did you have any clearance issues?

Ya there's about .5 inch to .75 inch clearance between turbo and frame.. the kit comes with a two piece bracket that once u start tightening those two brackets it lifts the turbo up enough to clear.. You just lift it up till it lines up with the hot pipe from the top turbo. Then once u have the top turbo and hot pipe clamp down just snug up the brackets.

Alright man, doesn't sound like clearance will be an issue then. Thanks for all your help

To clean it up a little you can get a threaded plug and remove the old waste gate hose. Any hardware store will have one. Looks good overall.

Is there a threaded bung in the cold pipe for a boost gauge? Knowing total and primary boost enables you to set up the waste gate spring optimally. Also, you can set up a temporary DP gauge using the egt hole in the manifold. Once you tune them the way you want them, you don't really need either the DP or primary boost. Although primary boost is cool...
