Never actually thought it was gonna be that easy. Just showing a few more pics of what is involved. Got the last couple huge boxes from Turbo Horsepower.
These are the parts that hold the hot and cold parts together basically.

Big clamps, medium clamps, v-band clamps, bolts, fittings, tools.......

Coilover conversion for the Bilsteins, wastegates in the Garrett boxes, exhaust clamps, filters, water crossover

Postban: Sorry for the OT comment, but do you know who makes that battery box? It looks great! It's polished aluminum, right?

I don't know where they got it from. It is just shiny, not polished really.

I think that battery box is more likely brushed stainless. Looks like a quality kit overall. Seriously, how do you guys find time to do all this stuff?

postban would have to make over 1500 WHP to even approx. triple the power he was already making. :eek:

If you mean a stock cobra, I guess that would be close.

If anybody can do this, you can Postban. And, then we'll get a very detailed "How-To" which will make it easy for everyone else, right? :)

So far the PITA is the battery relocate. IC install was a breeze. Power steering cooler relocate simple with a homemade "L" bracket in the center and by bending its factory bracket for additional anchorage. Also installed Power Steering reservoir relocate bracket, piece of cake.

Waiting on powdercoated stuff , oil pan bungs install(Doug is doing) and Oil Distribution Block (Doug again). Once that stuff is here the turbo part will go quick.

Really enjoying the garage time :)
