Yeah that'd be nice. Just a hard line 1/2 the way down. Flare it at the end and just clamp the last little bit with whatever hose you want. I'd probably just run some regular old 5/8" hose from Vatozone with worm clamps.

If you think of something soon lemme know. Otherwise I may just hold off on that until next year.

Got a little bit done today. Got the interior back buttoned up from the tranny removal/install.

Also made a little bracket to hold the oil dipstick steady since I removed the massive oem bracket that originally held it. Used some of that spare metal strapping stuff again, I'm starting to like this stuff!

Also I went to TNT and picked up a 6' length of -10AN SS Braided hose for the drain. fits over the 5/8" barbed fittings perfectly.

Thanks to Andrew, he gave me this chunk of 2.5" stainless to use on my exhaust. I still need some more bends if anyone has any laying around hit me up!!

Here is how she sits currently. I found that the turbo flange on the exhaust mani is not flat at all. Not sure exactly how to fix that, but I plan on just taking it to work and pressing it against the belt sander for a few minutes. And hopefully the gasket seals it up the rest of the way.

Other than that, I'm pretty much getting to the point where piping (IC and exhaust) is all that's left. Getting close, woohoo :)

Looking gooooooood. I have 2.5" piping so let em know if you end up needing some.

See that ground cable? Switch it so it is underneath the metal strap you put in. I did a similar thing on my X and it ended up causing a *really* bad ground. I was basically using a bracket for the starter/alternator harness inbetween another ground and the block. It looked nicer the way I had it and you do but it miiiight cause problems.

Got everything together as much as needed just to start the car up and check for leaks or anything since I had it apart. Started right up! Don't see any leaks so far so that's good!! Just gotta start putting the turbo back on, and all the piping!!
