No I didnt reach it. Had to have a fitting rewelded. And the place I got my fittings from didn't tell me the fitting I got was out of stock until mid June. I was waiting 2weeks for it. I'm thinking Thursday I'll put in some work

I was working on the car today when I looked at the Lower intercooler pipe. The thing was filled with oil. Removed it along with the intercooler and cleaned is all up. Got a lot more done too, made lines and installed the turbo. Could have finished it up today but I have misplaced all the clamps for my exhaust(dp vband and WG vbands) Here are some pics:

Oil drain and coolant lines

Coolant line off main water pipe. Also you can see where I had to grind the block so I could fit the rear coolant line

The pulleys I just got tonight and to find my damn clamps I mentioned above. Then an oil change and start the bad boy up. Ill make it before proving grounds but probably wont make it. Still need a battery box and cut off switch to run legally. and Id probably get yelled at for not having a cage.

Curious but why did you run such a big turbo with a dsm housing. What's the hotside A/R? Not picking at you like I said just curious? Is it for spool? I'm wondering cause I wanna run a turbo that spools around 42-4500 and the pte turbos like the 6262 only go to .63A/R hotside but also heard the turbo loses efficiency from choking at higher boost.

Again just wondering. You have a 2.4 right?

Its a .68a/r. I went with this turbo so simplicity. I had a FP3575 that blew and just wanted to swap a turbo not have to make new everything. Im not looking for a million HP (yet). And yes its a 2.4l

Ok cool Im also interested to see what it does to. Im was just asking cause I want a my powerband from 4-8k as I dont plan on taking the revs farther than that.

But either way good job looks NICCCE!
