heads studs, ls9 gaskets are in and i got the fast back on and all of the injectors are plugged in and ready to go . also got all of the coolant lines done and made the steamvent lines off of the back of the heads functional and route to the back of the overflow tank . now that the intake is on i can get the intake piping mocked up and welded up so i will only have 2 couples on the whole intake system , one at the turbo and one at the throttle body. a couple steps closer , im getting pretty excited seeing it all come together... i think the turbo is the new king under the hood , the fast is going to take a back seat now , this turbo dwarfs it lol...

Looks like it'll be interesting getting the v-band clamp on that pipe next to the downpipe.

well i got to wire my boost controller (eboost2 if anybody has done one give me some pointers ), i got to make some brackets to hold back the plug wires so they dont turn into toast on the headers ,spark plugs should be here tomorrow ,and weld one more elbow on the intercooler side and she will be as good as ready for the tuning as long as there are no bugs to work out which i assume there will be some.
