Now for day 4 update:
As mentioned earlier, I was working on the charge piping. The key here was symmetry, and it worked out great. The pipes going through the front rad support are 2.5”, and then switch to 2.75” diameter once in the engine bay. The MAF sensors will be as close to the TB as possible (or as far as the plug will reach). This is important because the sensor should be on in far away from any diameter transitions and turbulence, like those that the BOV would cause.
Enough blabber, on to the pictures:

Couple of random shots:
Like I mentioned, the BOV’s will go in tomorrow along with the MAF sensor housings. The turbo will also arrive tomorrow, at which point the stainless fabrication can begin. I am also looking at including an oil pan spacer with an oil drain plug. Not sure who has the best deals on those, so I will have to look around.
