You need a nice a2w setup, other than that your whole setup is absolutely amazing..
Sorry if you mentioned it before, but what kind of fuel are you going to use? E85 and 15lbs would make this thing a runner for sure..

Is that a standard 3 core intercooler? If it is thats a small intercooler for that turbo, I can see you blowing the welds or ballooning the endtanks in no time at all. Other than that, killer build I can't wait to see a video of it running.

Couple questions, Where are you hiding your coil packs, do you have a pic of the wastegate re-connecting to the DP, and do you plan on running an coolant overflow tank?

Looks awesome, can't wait to see what kind of carnage this does with that Pipe right there!!

Thanks guys. It will be running on E-85, there are a lot of stations around here so I am good to go.

As far at the intercooler goes, I wanted to stay with air to air for streetability and ease of installation. Its Prochargers 1300hp intercooler. I know of a couple big power cars around town running the same one without issue. The E should also help with cooling.

I am going to make some coil brackets. I am going to run them on top of the valve covers like normal but I am going to run the wires over the headers. I am runnin the wastegate to atmosphere dumping under the front bumper. I will be running a coolant overflow, just haven't installed it yet.

Check out Nelson Performance for where they put their coil brackets, you'll probably want to do the same if interested as it will make the plug wires much shorter and completely free of the Hot parts. I kinda wish I had done it myself since we both have Turbo kits that cross in front of the engine.

I tried finding Nelsons coil relocation but I don't see it. Do you have a link? Thanks Spoolin.

Yeah, you won't need that intercooler with E, I think you should sell it to me for cheap, lol.

I smoothed the welds and I am in the process of polishing it right now.
