Well, this was the pattern for my exhaust manifold that I mailed of to Richard at RCC Turbos in Canada:



Here is what he is sending back:

Well, here is the intake with the new 2.5" pipe:



I will run a piece of silicone hose here to the blow off valve, then to the intercooler

Here is the exhaust manifold installed



The front view. The upper pipe is the output from the turbo going to the intercooler



The hole in the center is the intake. It will be piped to the air cleaner. I am not sure how I will shoehorn that in yet....

I played some more with the aluminum mig welder setup. I welded some brackets on to the intercooler

I then mounted it in the car



And started working on the plumbing



I am trying to get the wastegate in this space, but not sure if I will be able to or not...

My friends at www.proflowtech.com serviced my 8 fuel injectors. The flow test them, ultrasonically clean them, then flow test them again.... I reinstalled them. There are 4 injectors on the top of the plenum, the aftermarket ones that are part of the turbo kit. There are the 4 stock ones that go into the throttle bodies.



The blue hoses are fuel lines. I started installing the wiring harness as well

Here are the ECM's, there is one for the bike and one for the secondary injectors, and the voltage regulator



I think I will mount all this stuff on the firewall inside the passenger compartment. It will be behind whatever I decide to do for a dashboard

I know, this looks the same. I got my new springs in though.



It looks like I am pretty close on the spring rates I guessed at

It looks good at this height



My employee is simulating the weight of fuel,battery, etc in the back to achieve correct ride height
