4 hours to get the f***ing y bridge in. Everything went pretty smoothly except the lower front nut on the passenger side, I probably spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to get that tight. Finally ended up cutting one of my sockets down really short and got a 1/4" extension to partially engage enough to tighten it down. Glad that's done, I was about to start throwing tools.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I've had to tweak every line and hose that goes around the y-bridge so far. Maybe that's normal, I dunno, but it's a little frustrating. I was hoping to be much further along by now. I did a test fit of the intake tube that goes between the two turbos also and I'm not 100% convinced that it clears the fuel line that goes over top of the bridge. Will see as I get further along I guess.

Got a little more done this afternoon.
Filter head relocation bracket
Cartridge sitting on the turbo brace
Got the hot side pipe that goes between the two turbos wrapped and installed. The fiberglass wrap sucks, my arms are all itchy.

Getting really close. Last piece I have to put on is the downpipe, and a few small things to button up.
Here's what I ended up doing with the fuel return line, it's the one that snakes between the two pipes in the center.
Cold side pipes done.
Had to trim my airbox tray and support bracket to clear the passenger side cold pipe.
Decided to add a sight tube to the new coolant tank, it was a little painful drilling holes since the powder coat looked so nice, but I think it turned out ok.
Installed, located the tube between the tank and the fender to keep it out of the way and away from the heat.
