well the oil and coolant lines are ran.....im just waiting on some fittings to come in the mail to finish hooking them up! i tapped and drilled the oil pan! that was scary :eek: i modified the hot side intercooler piping so that it will work with the way my turbo is clocked, all i need to finish it is a 90 silicone pipe to connect them!

Sounds awesome...glad the turbo is underway! I'm down to help (it's the least I could do after you stayed here until 4am helping me finish mine!) but will need a little more notice. 4th of July!

Good stuff! Is that the Mazdaspeed intercooler?

Nope. It's the old school FM/Bell intercooler.

Ahhhh. That's good, it'll probably work a lot better than the Mazdaspeed would.

I wonder if there will be any problems with the clearance of the compressor housing with the body because you have not notched out the fame right there....or are you planning on doing that?

Looking good so far!!

Shouldn't be any problems, there's a ton of room. The compressor is a lot smaller than the 2560s. If he ever upgrades, he'll have to notch it.
