    Well I need to find a new place to host pictures. Photobucket can go to hell with the $100 to $400 jump.

    Got all the piping mocked up in car and can now say I have only 3 issues with this ON3 setup. 1 - The merge pipe I think (not sure really) is off slightly. Nothing major. Which leads to 2 - the support bracket included for turbo will never align and bolt together. Which will be solved by making a support that will actually be able to support something. Waiting on a part to arrive Monday for that. Then the last which was an issue until I did some cutting and found a new appreciation for those that make custom headers. That is some serious test of ones patience trying to get pieces of tubing cut and aligned just right. I forgot to take a picture of how it looked and wasn't going to fit together.

    Coming off inter cooler was a long leg/short leg 90* tube that blow off is mounted to. Between it and the piping to throttle body was a piece of two nineties welded together. To get it all together wasn't happening. Seemed to need another 3" off long leg at inter cooler. Any other way I tried just wouldn't work. So a little cutting, some swearing and more cutting. Was able to reuse the pipe after my fix. I got something that fits better than was originally. Now to weld it all together.
