Going to Y the front and rear turbos together before going into the intercooler. Would rather stay with my same side inlet/outlet intercooler because the routing is far easier and more effecient. Will eventually change to a top to bottom flow though.

Front turbo installation 100% complete. Coolant lines, oil feed and return, and wastegate installed.

Adapted a 1g wastegate to the stock 14b actuator rod. Made it adjustable so I can synchonize the front and rear.

Finally found the proper oil feed adapter. It should be arriving here sometime this week. Tonight I got the rear wastegate installed finally, and got the clutch and trans installed. One thing is for sure, doing a clutch swap will no longer take and hour and a half anymore. It will require engine removal, but I should be able to have the whole engine out in less than an hour so its not too big a deal. The rear wastegate was quite the pain to get the angle correct with so little space. Made it adjustable again similarly to the front.

Picked up these as well for dirt cheap. One will be routed to where the factory HVAC box used to be and the other in the stock battery location.

Got some more done tonight. Installed and routed the harness which is about 90% installed now. Heater core hoses installed, fuel lines installed and routed, and vacuum lines run. Got my clutch slave cylinder installed which was a big hurdle due to the extremely tight clearance. Had to do some creative bending of the hard line to get it to fit. At this point, there is a very very good chance I will be able to start it this weekend. Wont be able to drive it just yet since I still lack parts to build the downpipe/y-pipe. There will be vids.Jim K.

Well, between last night and tonight, I now have the car about 95% ready to start. All wiring is complete. All power steering lines are routed and installed. HVAC vac box moved and installed. Power distribution cables/fusebox installed and hooked up.
Things that need to be done to start it: Power steering fluid, engine oil, trans gear oil, coolant. Install radiator. Install axles.
Things needed to drive it: Build exhaust y-pipe + flex pipe, install two O2 bungs, install front suspension, install stock (!) crossmembers, build solid center crossmember-to-trans mount. Oh yeah, renew the expired tags.Jim K.
