I bolted the turbo on today, going to have to adjust it's position tomorrow ( just loosen the bolts holding the turbo pipe to the manifold and turn the turbo pipe )b4 I start fabricating the pipes, it hits on the heater hoses even tho they are formed 90* hoses right tight to the firewall, trans dipstick will be tricky to get to also. but it's there. now it's officially Ford Tough with Buick stuff:LOL:
Well that will be hot inline for sure . Took alot of thought for you to get it in there . Thats the rodding that makes it rodding . Great work Matt
Me and 2 other people peiced and fabb'd the hot side pipe togther in june, in july, I welded and added the O2 sensor bung, and the flange for the wastegate on. the turbo was not cockable ( can't position inlet for exhaust, it's permanent ) so putting the turbo back there was nessasary, most put them where the battery is, but I got the fuel system stuff there. ( reguilator, canister filter, and the lines ). the exhaust outlet will exit thru the fenderwell, and down and around.Quote:

I have given thought (due to gass prices) of doing the same in a T bucket.
Keep us updated Matt.
