Getting closer

New turbo progress pics. Sorry for the crappy quality, I took them with my phone.

AFCO HE installed




BTS tranny installed



Downpipe and exhaust finished






Metco traction bars installed




Patrick is finishing up the details on the custom fuel system (gonna be pretty trick), custom cooling system, a few more details on the turbo, True Trac, and a few other details and it'll be ready. I can't wait!

I doubt a 5" pipe will fit. The 4" is really tight. You can give it a shot though!
