This is vastly more pleasant to do on the work bench. Hoping it will end up being a sort of “drop in, flying lead” sort of deal once the dash gets reinstalled. Going to secure all the wiring behind the dash and since I’m pretty well versed on what wires are going to come out of where, I think most of it can be done out of the car.

Hoping that these fellas will solve my turbo kit headaches so I don’t have to go back to the drawing board

What kind of panel is that? I like that thing waaay better than the RF panel that I chose, it looks vastly simpler for a total rewire, and looks to be able to accommodate a buttload of high amperage circuits with relays, and CB's instead of fuses.

It’s a Leash Electronics Street/Strip board. You would be thrilled with it. I’m not using all the functions this time, but it’s built to wire all the lights and signals in addition to having enough relays, fused power sources and grounds to run everything.
Fans, pumps, compressor, all the ecu wiring, everything will go through this board.

Got started on the hotside tonight

Trusty ol painters tape

Got the passenger side done.


This is my only hangup. Might cut off the outlet and put a 90 up on it, just to keep the hose itself a little further away.


Drivers side took a little more thought but I was able to work around the alternator as well as not block the radiator fitting without having to do anything too ridiculous.




Started eyeballing the coldside. Happy that I’ll be able to use the factor air inlet in the fender, even having jumped through some hoops to do it.


Lastly, I got the Holley harness installed in the bay and did a little work on the dash wiring.

@tannerc91gt does the Holley gps use an input or does it wire like other analog gauges?

It plugs into the digital dash with a USB. ECU isn’t aware of it at all.

Little more work tonight.
Got the GPS secured behind the dash. Made sure not to put it under any metal structure so hopefully it’ll have a good signal.

Got the exhaust holes cut out so I could work on downpipes. Came out really nice I feel.
Grabbed a 3.5” 90* and stuck it on the exhaust housing.

No bueno.
So, we of course know what that means....

Pie cuts! Not super excited about it but after a little electrical tape mock up, I think it’s gojng to make some nice pipes. Debating a small bull horn type deal as well. Nothing too noticeable but maybe not bumper flush.


I’ll build the downpipes tomorrow and hopefully plumb up the scavenge system as well.

I'm needing to do this also tanner how did you cut the pie cuts? Did you cut it out of straight pipe using a chop saw?

Yes sir, straight piece of pipe. Find the circumference of the pipe, divide in half. Then draw a line across the length of the pipe, measure around to the halfway mark on the other side and draw another line. Then i set my chop saw up at the angle I wanted. I didn’t worry about the 9* or 18* or whatever people like to make, i just cut 1 and found the angle I liked. Then you just make a cut, rotate the pipe 180*, make another cut, rotate back, etc. it was my first attempt and it worked really well that way.

The delivery drone battery went out. Happens all the time. Self-driving Uber cars sneak by and scoop up the drones. The car often runs over the package in an effort to scoop up the drone.

I'm sure that it was very nice though.

Did a hard pipe extension on the lower radiator port to keep from burning up hoses. Bad angle but there’s a good amount of room between the 2 as well.




Welded the fittings on my turbo oil tank and built a mount for the scavenge pump. Need to mount the tank and build the lines otherwise I think it came out great.

Intended to work for an hour or two today and ended up spending about 5 or so working on the car.
Got the downpipes built and installed and the scavenge system finished.
