Also probably too late to do anything about it and just my preference in terms of heat management but I would - and did - wrap my headers after pulling the OEM shields.

Given the clearance issues with the BP twin kit tho that might not have been feasible for you.

Good advice, I t might be a little tight to get to them now, but I’ll take a look in a few weeks when I plan to spend another day on it.

Got passenger side piping and turbo on this weekend, everything seems to fit good, gonna take apart and tighten everything up next weekend then on to finish the driver side.

I got the second turbo on today. Getting closer :). I still need to connect the piping to the intercooler, (driver side looks like a bit of a gap between pipes I’ll have to finesse into place) and then intercooler to throttle bodies and connect all vacuum/boost lines and I’m done. Exited to see the end soon.

Got a temporary tune, Harry at ZTuner was able to come by my house and get it running. In a few weeks I’ll be able to take it to his shop and get it tuned on the dyno, gonna be a hard few weeks.

Good stuff. Wish I was that good to do that myself haha

Thanks, you just need tools, YouTube and lots of patience :)

Installed the Z1 catch can kit. I know I could have put one together cheaper myself, but at this point in my build I’ll take easy any day, and their kit was super easy to install. Catch can brackets are great and, while close, it misses my BOVs.

Boost gauge installed, just waiting on the new map sensor to come in so I can get this thing tuned. The wait is killing me

Build is looking sweet!

Got it tuned today, and wow. Never had a turbo car before, this thing is incredible. We didn’t get a chance to get on the dyno, I had my wastegates plumbed wrong and that took a bit to fix because of where they were at. Going back to the shop next weekend to fine tune it on the dyno and also tune a second map for E85. Going to be a lot of fun driving it this week to make sure there are no issues that need fixed in the next session.

Just got my FI crash bar in yesterday and installed today. Fits great on this kit, easy install, it’s tight on the driver side, but still clears. Getting on the Dyno tomorrow to finish my 93 Octane tune, then back on Saturday for E85 :)

Nice! Have the turbos failed yet? They must have five or six miles on them :ugh2:

Ha….ha. I’ve got about 50 miles and no failures, so I’m in record breaking territory now.
