2G first turbo swap (16g) complete

[C1nical]

Or near complete. I pretty much finished everything today, while also having classes scattered throughout the day. I have a question, however.

I still have my stock side mount, anyone have some suggestion on how to connect the stock smic piping to my jpipe? I'm not quite sure what to try with that.

I have to say it was a lot easier than I expected it to be, I didn't have too many problems as I usually do when I'm taking anything off thats been on that car for over a decade. I have to get some new hose for the water lines, and some new studs. The turbo is an ebay 16g that I bought years ago before I knew the difference, blew my t25 a couple weeks back and decided I would through it on there, so I will let everyone know how it runs when I have finished entirely.

Yeah, I took a few. Not the best, I will take some more tomorrow morning when I wake up and upload them all.

Alright, so here are a few pics of where I am at.

These next to show the j pipe I have, which is really causing all my current problems. I have looked at pics from other people setups and I think this j pipe is routing the piping too far to the right, and needs to be more directed to the left, near the passenger side radiator fan, if you understand what I am saying? I don't know why it is like this, but I have struggled and tried many different things to be able to make something work for my smic and theres just not enough room with the direction its angled.

So I am supposed to be going to get a j pipe off a guy here from a 14b today. I also noticed there is no nipple on this j pipe for the vacuum line from the wastegate, does the j pipe off a 1g for a 14b have that nipple on it? Or am I going to have to put that in myself? Would jb weld work if thats the case?
