Looks 'complicatingly' good. I bet wrapping was fun as well.

Ha, the turbo side with the waste gates was tricky for sure.

Picked up the last big ticket item of the build (Driveshaft). They did a hybrid setup, steel front/ aluminum rear. Got it installed and while I was under there, reworked the fuel delivery lines. Got rid of that weird loop.

No way to remove those restrictive fittings? I've read where those hard/fabbed 90° fittings are the equivalent of adding >10' of additional line per fitting.

I couldn't figure out a way to get the shut off fitting and first filter before the pump while keeping everything low, without all the crazy loops.

Been working on a way to get inner fenders in while keeping it semi stock looking. Going to be a lot of cutting/ metalwork around turbo and back by the firewall, but this is where I have the most fun. So lets cut up some new fenders! Lap welds is where its at with this thin metal. Ended up raising the mounts about 2-1/2".
