[nate95]

HI, just thought i'd let everyone know that this friday, Oct. 6th iam driving my celica down to Tenn. to John's house or as most of you know him by "Mynzeyes" and we are going to install the turbo kit on my celica . We have 2 1/2 days to work on it, friday evening, saturday, and then sunday and hopfully we will be able to finish it on time but most of all I hope we get the turbo on and get the car running good.

And of course as soon as were done with it i'll post and let everyone know how it went, along with some pics and i'll try to make some videos of it

Random update: everything is basically on. Just have to run the IC piping, and hooker a few vac hoses. It took a while longer than anticipated because of finding someone to weld/braze the return fitting into the oil pan, and trying to find someone to do the exhaust work. Still have yet to get that made. We had to swap to a different manifold, luckily Jack brought all his turbo goodies over, and we just grabbed out of his what we needed. Finding a fitting for the oil feed line coming out of the block was quite a pain, but we finally got one. All that is hooked up. Also, we had to find some vac T's, and a couple of check valves. Hopefully what we got will work, but if not, we'll add one or so, and go from there. We just have a few more things to plug up, and then we'll be good. That's the only pain about working on something like this over the weekend. Finding places open to find the little special things you need. BLAH. Another update to come.

sorry nik, it wasnt meant as a knock on you, the more pics and info we can acumulate about what people run into, and diffrent setups, the better off we'll all be.
if it came off as a knock on ya, im sorry, that was NOT my intention at all. i appreciate everything youve done for the site, including your 7afte writeup.
