It has been a while since I have updated. Work has kept me pretty busy and have had some issues finding parts and tools, but I finally have the crossover pipe in, oil drain fitting is in oil pan is back on, coolant and power steering relocations are finished.
I will update with pictures later.

Not pictured. Oil lines are run and intercooler piping is all mocked up, I need to get my bov flange welded on before finalizing that part of the install. Interior is almost finished up as well. And My pcv set up is run with the exception of a catch can.

i know on my wifes V6, the bottom section of the oil pan is VERY shallow.....are you tapping the bottom section or the top section? you want to make sure that where ever you tap it, it does not get blocked by oil already in the oil pan.

You'll really enjoy this! I used to have a turbo 4.0 and it was great fun. I just couldn't resist the 5.0. haha

It has been a while, so how about some updates...

Today I got the bumper back on the car and the rear brakes knocked out. Tomorrow after work the car gets set back on the ground and rolled out for a wash. Dyno appointment is Thursday after which more pictures and video will be posted.

For now there are these.

I will have to be on the look out for some actually mufflers, the turbo (as much as I would like it to) does not count.

If that is a oil catch can on the passenger side firewall, then your going to want to put a one way valve in there or something because when your intake gets pressurized with boost its going to blow back into the can=not good. If you want to run that properly your only true vac source is pre turbo post air filter.

Congrats on getting it running.
