Oh...and what BOV did you use?
I dont' see it listed and I dont' recognize that one on your charge pipe.

That line is fluid feed to the clutch which uses the brake fluid. If you look at the rubber boot that is about a thumb size above the line that will push that gold/brass thing when you push on your clutch. Don't move it or remove it.

See I know my shizit.lol Although I did just put the a tc together.lol

Invest in the steel braided line for the oil feed. Otherwise Killer custom job IMO

But how the hell did you get the AEM F/IC and the harness for just $270! I paid near $700 for mine!

Oh, and can you get a more top down photo of where the turbo is sitting? I can't follow that top polished pipe.
Thanks man, and ill get more pics tonight when I hook up my Uego

I got the AEM F/IC and harness in the classified section, I know, I came up lol

Its a GO Fast Bits Mach 1, but its setup to recirculate because the car wont hold idle when it was venting to atmosphere

I actually found out that the line I have now is really good, Its made by jiffy-tite who makes some great products.

Thanks everyone for your comments

The only part that sucks is that I need to cut my bumper, but its cool, Im going to get the M power kit w/ my income tax check anyway

That 'hard line' is a brake line.

Your 2nd picture doesnt show the bov being recirc'ed. Did you use the nub on your intake pipe in the 2nd pic? If you did recirc it than you should leave it like that since we run Maf it will run a lot better as long as you dont mind losing the "cool sound".

X2 on the pictures of turbo/downpipe/radiator clearance.

Nice kit though hopefully you dont run into any issues GL! I'll be going to Church's in 1 more day!!!!!!!!

If its not putting a whole lot of pressure on the hard line I wouldn't worry about it since it is a HARD line.
seriously, i'd be worried about that chargepiping jolting when you hit boost.. if that happens, the hard line can eventually dent / even put a crack in the chargepiping. if that happens, you'll have problems. better safe than sorry. $.02

Thanks for the info.
So what exactly constitutes a "Custom" setup? I mean, if all that came in a kit, it's not really custom.
That would explain why it looks so much better then AEN's setup (no offense) as he actually pieced his kit together part by part...the DP being the biggest pain.

Well I don't mean custom as in a "pieced together" kit.

The guy who sold me the original kit had it made by a shop up north, and spent over $4500

The manifold is one off as is the dump tube and intercooler piping. Thats what I mean when I say "Custom" kit, as in no one else has it
