Nice, looks like you are gearing up for the season.

Kevin = performance, swifty = price. lol

Swift you already have pumps so you don't need to worry.

Kevin won't you have to make some kind of sump now?

I will be welding a bulk head fitting into the stock fuel tank. :)

I'll be starting the exhaust manifold fab this week. The tubing that I'll bought showed up today!!

Here is a little update.
The collector is all done and for the most part mocked up to where I might put it. I've gotta do some more measuring to make sure that is where I want it. Here are the pictures of the work! Boodram at MAP made the collector for me. I helped hold a few things on the collector. I'll be doing the rest of the manifold. Picture quality is a little low all of the pictures are from my iphone :(

This took forever to do but I polished all the pipes before welding so, the manifold looks really nice when done!

My brother can weld fucking badass. Bitch did my old O2 housing left handed!! (he is a righty).

Back OT, so manifold and pump install and you are ready to go? maybe DP and dump tube too i guess.

Yeah, he is a awesome welder!! I'm using my old dp. Just dump tube's, and also fuel lines, filters, and fittings. Then it's ready for big power.

I changed my mind on the bottom mount and am now building a top mount. Got the turbo placed. Pipe fitting has begun.

I moved the turbo a little more to the left and a little higher since the last pic was taken. I'm hoping to have the manifold done this week coming up.
