Mitsubishi found it helpful to put a bracket there stock. It connects the DP to the block. Its completely unnecessary though, your exhaust studs and the aluminum they thread into wont be experiencing any extra stress or weight with your setup. Forget I said anything. Helicoiling with a hand drill is fun!

Wow, good looking build!

Wow, good looking build!Thanks. Ran into fitment issues with the ETC core. It was way to short on both sides (1.5"). Now all that's left on the turbo setup is one dumptube. Then downpipe, turbine housing, and both dumptubes go to ceramic coater. But not just any ceramic coating. These guys coating rated at 2200*. It's a dual stage process.... on the outside as well as on the inside.

Ha, yeah, I doubt there are any hush hush secrets anymore. Anytime I see that on a national board, I see a post from Marco 30 seconds later saying he did that in 2004, which he did.

Those lightened cranks always scare me a bit unless mallory metal is added to offset the piston/rod weight accordingly. Although on a racecar, who cares, nobody is driving them 100k miles.

I like the custom exhaust. I'm getting tired of piecing together mine to get it the way I like, I'm thinking about just starting from scratch and making it completely. My goal is to have it hug the undercarriage tighter than the ones I see on the market right now.

A single crank has been proven for years thru a few shops on different fast cars. I mean alot of years lol

Last dumptube done and now everything has been sent of to get ceramic coated.

Ran into a few issues. It seems the 4" ETS intercooler core is to short ( over 1" on both sides) and doesn't clear the radiator. Devo wanted a new Core but was advised by ETS to cut down the radiator and fab it to work smh. So not wanting to go back and forth or take forever waiting for a new core from ETS they did the fab. But, that now caused the 3" IC piping to have to be routed in a way that now it won't clear the trans mount etc. Devo then mentioned a bar to fix the issue. I didn't even give them a chance to tell me what it was called. I had an idea what they were talking about so I made a call and a few hours later.

Finally it's done. Dual stage coating on both inside and out. Turbine housing was sanded down then coated. I look forward to see how low the temps drop in the bay after this.
