I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

so nice!! I like what you are doing with the oil system.

does your oil return goes right to your oil cooler? i thought that you cant do that? also i dont see where you are returning oil too? are you taking oil right from your oil filter outlet??

also, that downpipe is sick.

the oil system goes from the sandwhich on the block to the remote filter then to the oil cooler then back to the sandwhich the oil return i'll get you a pic of the finish product a little later

a few little details

The intercooler piping is 2.75 on the intake side and 2.5 and the turbo side

The greddy catch can got AN fittings after this and breaded lines

The bracket that held the FPR was modded

The intake pipe was finished and fitted with a an fitting

the plumming for the radiator was finished

the gasket for the the manifold they keep sending the wrong one so the shop custom made one out of copper and port matched it

Fal dual fans where mounted and a heat sheild was made for the turbo and some heat wrap for a few lines

custom mount was made for the alt moving it down by the oil pan

the car was up and running the 2 of feb after a few days i post they were having a problem in cylinder 4 the problem is fixed but i ordered CP pistons any way at rasied comp to 8.5:1 from 8.0:1 the pistons were the weakest link in this setup they should be in in about a week and half the motor has been pulld and bottom end torn apart waiting on the pistons guessing about a week or so to reassemble and restreet tune it hoping to have it march 3 or that following week
