The car is ready!!! I'll take some pictures and try to install the wideband...



Everything is in place now. The car runs very smooth and the new exhaust gave it a nice deep sound... I'll take a video later...

Engine bay




Exhaust 2" 1/4 from the turbo to 2" 1/2 and 3" to the flex... later it would go all the way in 3"





Still need to install the wideband and buy some heat wrap...

Seems like we just saw a photo not too long ago, of a Honda that had a similar turbo mounting solution. Much mocking of the holes in the hood took place.

What are you doing for a hood?

Wow, think the valve cover will hold up to that heat?
