finally done with install...turbo...*pics*
finally install's pretty much done...just have to add a new cat. and a flexpipe to my downpipe...
ok, here's the rundown:
t3/t04e 50 trim, stage 2 wheels, .63 a/r
drag gen 4 cast iron manifold
spearco-core intercooler
tial 35mm wastegate
drag 4 blingbling pipings
blitz dd bov
dsm 450cc injectors with obd1 clip
obd1 resistor box
vafc hack
aeroquip ss braided oil return line with 45degree swivel fittings
2.5 inch drag gen 4 downpipe
goodridge ss braided oil feed line
autometer cobalt series boost, egt, a/f gauges
greddy turbo timer
car was already equipped with:
vafc
2.5 catback (which splits into 2.25 dual) with obx b5 mufflers
aem cai
dc sports 4-2-1 header
neuspeed sports springs
wheels, etc etc
install was a bitch! took about 4 days to get all the parts in...injectors took about a day with clips/resistor box...
later found out that i was leaking oil from oil feed and oil return, so had to take them apart and teflon tape it (drag install manual says not to teflon tape the threads), broke a oil pressure sending unit and had to replace that, etc etc etc...
well, after about 2 weeks of total downtime (didn't have time to take it to shop to get the downpipe welded w/ flange for stock cat. since drag's dp doesn't come flanged), the car does finally run without any oil leaks...
well, i'll let the pics speak for themselves...

looks nice, congrats bro, two quick questions, since i'm a turbo noob, why do u have the oil line from the pan to the turbo? whats it's use? and why do u have an cone intake in the turbo? whats it good for?
