okay so i ordered a bunch of **** 2night. BOV, I.C., all the oil lines and fittings except for the oil pump, all of the tubing, clamps, flanges, gaskets. now comes time 2 remove my muffler and send my exhaust tubing 2 an exhaust shop 2 get, W/G. flange, T3 turbo flange, and Wideband 02sensor bungs all welded up, as well as a 20degree bend for some extra clearance on the compressor side. gave her a check for $900, total of all that **** came out 2 $892. Next paycheck is paying for, fuel pump, FMU, Boost guage, oil pump, wastegate, 02sensor ..... then maybe a few more misc **** and i will have all of the parts 2gether

I always just carry whatever I need swelled to an exhaust shop and give them $5. I have used one of the manual expanders before and they are kind of a pain. Worth the $5 for me every year or two while i'm on the way to the beer store!
How about some details on your build or am I just out of the loop?

looks like the intercooler piping is going to interfere with your blinkers, is that just point of view or what?
