Here are some pics of my install of my turbo onto my car.

 

Couple more. Install is not done yet. Lots of wiring left

 

i dont think i've ever seen someone use a copper line for the oil feed.

 

that's why its there

I'm heading out there now to mount up the water meth. The paint is dry on the bracket my friend made for it to locate it under the battery I'll take some pics of it.

 

thats how the trd s/c came with a hard copper line.

 

is this a ebay kit or pieced together? be very careful with that manifold those manifolds are known to crack.

 

its pieced together.. I got it for a good price and know its not ideal. This is my first experience doing this. The guy before did a shiesty weld job on the exhaust compressor other than that it seems like a decent enough kit for my first go around.

 

I'll keep an eye on it. This is mostly just a learning experience on it. Couldn't believe how many times I had to tee off the vac/boost

 

you didnt do too bad of a job on the bumper, iv seen many cut their bumpers to fit ic and all were bad bad hack jobs. could use a little smoothing but still it looks fairly decent imho. good job

 

I fear for your 02 sensor though, excessive heat can kill em but hopefully my fears will be unfounded. good luck with your project and again good job!!!

 

looks good,i like how to put that lower grill on the bottom to hide the intercoller so its not obvious your boosted.

 

the turbo/mani n dp are ebay, but i cant talk mine are aswell, hopewfully that turbo doesnt give u the same issues i had( it was too small my log manifold spooled it the moment i gave it a lil bit of throttle) after 5 hours it blew up so i got a bigger turbo, with ur top mount manifold i believe the spooling will be fine and still produce top end

 

looks like alot of work but im sure it will be worth it..

 

yea I am contemplating ways to cover the piping and my hackjob

 

Ok here are pics of the water meth and how I mounted it. Having issues making boost (as in it won't), thinking it has to be the wastegate but I am going to go over all the vaccuum lines again.

 

I say boost leak test.

 

ok this may be a dumb question but on my wastegate does that screw in the top need to be cranked in all the way. There were no instructions with it when I got it. I'm gonna stop at the local hardware store today and get some caps.

 

oh u bought one of those adjustabe wastegates....sorry cant help

 

nice pics

 

You can get a Tial 38mm, with a .6 bar spring, for around $250 new. I would suggest that, I totally would not trust the ebay one dude...
