Sweet car, and the build is looking awesome. I really like that collector with the WG tubes cast in, that's dope!

Maybe if I make it to the shootout this year I'll come say hi and check it out :thumb:

Thank you. I specially wanted the collector to use the T fittings. Less welds and great flow.
 
The engine side had a poly mount but the trans mount was still stock. Luckily a 1G DSM insert was the same size.

Front and rear mounts are finished. I had to add my own mount to the subframe for the rear. The factory front and rear roll stops are under the car attached to a north south bar (3 mounts on transmission). I'm now running 3 on engine to make it easier for pulling the transmission.

Started on the manifold today and got the runners tacked up. Sch40 pipe with bsfab t4 divided collector. I don't own a vertical band saw yet to get crafty with my own collector.

Fabbed up the UICP. I haven't decided what i'm doing for the LICP yet. Pipes and intake manifold will be coated wrinkle black.

Looks great, love everything so far. I have a question, is there anything supporting the turbo besides the exhaust manifold?
Thank you! Nothing supports the turbo but the manifold. If it was built using thin wall stainless instead of sch pipe I would consider using a maven performance turbo mount.
