Today I started taking off the stock exhaust and getting it ready to start piecing together the hotside.
Welded up the EGR holes on the stock manifolds and hit them with some VHT ceramic paint
Turbo parts are slowly trickling in...
TiAl 60mm WG
Stainless pipe from Race Part Solutions...

Finished getting the long tubes off and was able to get the v-bands welded onto the stock manifolds. I also wrapped the manifolds. Just waiting on exhaust gaskets to bolt them up.

Mounted the turbo today. I used a 1x1 piece of steel welded to the frame then made a bracket to bolt the flange to the bar.

Not too much to update as I'm still waiting on some parts to arrive, but I got the turbo bracket bolted up and oil feed line run. I'm using a dirty dingo oil block with a 4an line and a one way Summit check valve before the turbo. Hope to finish up the hotside by this weekend if I can find the time to work on it.

Exa pump mounted and return line is up to engine. Need to get the bung welded on my valve cover tomorrow.
Also have the intercooler mounted. It's a Treadstone 1300 HP with 3" passenger side inlet and center outlet.

I'd consider having another -10 or -12 bung put into the valve cover to run a catch can. I've got a -10 welded into each of my valve covers that go into a dual catch can for crank case evacuation. Unless you spend the money on a kit the vendors sell.
