chevykev, I'm in San Diego.

Little update, more parts are rolling in. PTE 46 showed up. 3" stainless mandrel bends and 5-ply couplers for the intercooler are on the way. Can't wait to start fabbing up the piping.

I haven't ordered the turbine v-band yet for the downpipe but does anyone know for a BW T6 housing v-band is it 5", 5.25"or 5.5"?

Never mind, found it.

Sweet! I noticed the 805 😎. Love that beer
Are you going to smog this? Or you know a smog guy?

Chevykev, it will never pass a visual lol.

Update, lots of parts coming in to start fabbing IC piping, downpipe, WG dump, intake and exhaust. Any of you big turbo boys have feed back on running a 4" bullet race muffler? What style/brand and how loud is it?

Any details on that intercooler placement? I love the way that looks front and center

That pic is me just placing it where I want it. I'm really picky as far as placement. I want it as high as possible to get the most amount of air flowing through but it being a 4" core and having to sit in front of the hood latch will push the upper corners through the plastic mesh of the grill. If I don't cut anything and place it below the hood latch, a good amount of the IC surface sits behind the bumper support. I haven't made my decision as far as placement but need to in the next couple days .

That's exactly why I asked, because I don't like when they're half behind the bumper. Do you think a 3" or maybe 3.5" would fit there in lieu of the 4"?
