Yet another turbo build...
#32
Cold side almost completely mounted. Perfect fit on the drivers side. Passenger side is a butch with all the coolant hoses. Do yourself a favor and drain the coolant before hand. I will shorten the water pump to radiator hose tomorrow and finish everything up. If i can get my hands on a oil dipstick tube it should be fired up tomorrow

Running a boost controller? Make sure you get the dipstick in all the way. Thought I had mine in all the way in and it would leak oil, thought it wa my oil pan so took it back off for nothing. I put a little grease on the dipstick o-ring and slid right in, no more leaks. Everything looks good.

This pic should show you everything you need to know about KB's pipe fitment. Ill be honest, i was a little concerned about this atuff fitting when i mocked it. But once i actually put it together fitment was perfect. The bead rolled ends on the pipes is a plus too.

Cold side finalized. Took some time and some cussing but got it all on. Fit is tremendous.
Also got the crossover pipe on, then couldnt fit the 4" DP from the top or bottom. Then realized pulling the tire and fender liner will give me the room i need. It was dark by then though, so tomorrow.
Gonna try and get an oil dipstick tube from GM tomorrow since 2 junkyards refused to sell me one today. Finish the DP and wastegate connection and finalize the vacuum tubing and some wiring odds and ends. It should be alive tomorrow.

Regarding the oil line I think you're right. Still just pissed off I cut it too short.
