Got most of the routing for the twin turbos done, just need to cut a section for the secondary tubing. Currently have it all tack'd up to confirm everything lines up. I also have the intake side IC endtank started, but need to wait for some 3" tubing to finish the routing before I finish it. I started on modifying the greddy elbow too, but didn't like the direction I was going....need to put more thought into that. Man, I tired.

Oh, I also got some Mackin industries 20mm longer than stock wheel studs.

Alright, got the IC and ducting done. The Secondary turbo BOV is in, just need to finish welding in the recirc tubing. The throttle body end tank is a bit frankensteinish, but it will work great. Trying to decide if I want to weld on the Tial BOV on the throttle body end tank or at the cold side end tank of the IC.

I need to get the rad fan I want and I should have all the mounting done by end of week. I still need to do the oil cooler mounting, waiting for some fittings before I go further on that. Making progress.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to mod the hood so it's vented. A lot of work, but it would be functional and bad ass at the same time.......

Okay, so I fabd up a mount for the Radiator and I didnt like how it turned out so Im redoing it. However, I was able to put rivnuts on the driver side frame rail for the rad mount. FYI, if you ever use these things be sure to do a mockup on another piece with the same thickness to get the crimping settings right. These things are prone to spinning if not installed properly. On that note I added epoxy to the mix to further reduce that risk. If you look at the mockup panel I did you can see three different degrees of crimping, the center on is what you want to look for.

I also started playing around with the mounting location of the Mocal oil thermostat. I was hoping to utilize the stock inlet/outlet lines, but its not looking like that will work. I have to go buy more fitting for the twin oil cooler setup.

Tackd the headlight support tabs too, welding upside down isnt easy.

Got most of my oil line fittings so I went ahead and started playing around with the setup. Wish I had gone with Setrab oil coolers back then, would have save me a lot of trouble

Today I got the water outlet tank done. I also have most of the oil cooler mounting pieces made, just need to weld everything together.
