FPR mount done, and close to being done with the mid cat. Finalize boost controller mounting and the remaining accessory wiring needs to be completed. Possibly may be able to start the motor this weekend.

Mid cat pipe done, just barely had enough leftover tubing after cutting to re-weld. My big cluster F of a relay box, fan controller, Boost solenoid and fan relay is next on the list.

As I feared the Secondary BOV interfers with the ABS unit, so I need to rotate that tubing assembly. Heat sink for the WB in, needed two crush washers to get the orientation. Mostly finished with engine bay wiring except for the headlights and EDFC(routing). Started install of EDFC stepper motors, thank god for work instructions. And I found out the FC dip stick is a nice upgrade to the short FD dip stick unit, gets to the finger ring should be a lot easier now. 

I needed to modify the secondary turbo tubing I went ahead and put in one of my synapse BOVs. Also finished the engine bay wiring, utilized the AC firewall plug. Next will be finishing the Secondary intake tube recirc tubing, air pump air line routing, welding in water temp and water level bungs into the Rad, welding in the second BOV after the IC (for better throttle response when motor is under vacuum) and all the wiring to the dash.

Had a little unpleasant surprise the other day; the primary turbo accessory fitting came loose. So I made a plug for it since I will be tapping into the tubing at the juncture where I will get a more accurate pressure differentiation between the primary and secondary turbo transition. The secondary BOV and tubing is in, man talk about a tight fit. I almost needed five year old hands just to tighten the small set screws for the Synapse BOV. 

Water temp and level sensors are on the Rad now and I need to decide where I will locate the primary BOV and special air filter for it. Where ever it is placed I need to tap into the air filter for the air pump. Minimizing tubing length may be the determining factor.
