CayenneS,
The project will / should be complete after another 2 to 3 weeks, depending on how many / if any issues arise during road testing.

I'm guessing the crazy ground clearence in your FMIC pics is due to no engine...looks strange to see a viper with a good 6 inches of clearence. Good luck with the project, we all can't wait to see the results.

looks like great craftsmanship
is that turbo resting against the frame?
also, while the turbo is in a well circulated place, it's still gonna generate a lot of heat, will that cause a problem for the BOV right next to it?

Are you guys ****ing kidding me? Thats a tial WASTEGATE, not a BOV. I hope all of you are being sarcastic, i would think with this class of cars simple things like that are common sense. Wastegates control boost, bov's release air when throttle plate closes to prevent turbo surge.

Guys...
That being the exhaust side of the turbo, it would have to be the wastegate. That much heat would roast a BOV pretty quick. BOV's go on the intake side usually between the intercooler and the throttlebody.

Shank, I expected a little better craftsmanship. Hope it workes out and lasts.
