next i mounted the manifold and turbo.. ran into some problems with he down pipe.. had to bring it to the shop to weld everything together..

 

today im going to mount the new oil pan which is tapped already and run all my oil lines..

 

i was debating on picking up this kit before you did.... how'd you feel about cutting the crossmember?

 

wow you actually cut the cross member in half... ...I know there's other kits around here that don't require such a thing......i'd like to say I hope the front end doesn't suffer body roll or rigidity loss but I'm pretty sure it will

 

cut the crossmember out and put in a chromoly bar.

 

 

from the looks of it there is no room to mount a chromoly bar, or pipe actually, i doubt you'd want to use a solid bar there, it would probably weigh a hundred pounds or so lol

btw...theres no need for a fuel rail, don't waste your $ on it.

are you gunna move the fuse box too? looks like theres gunna be a lot of heat in that area.

 

I've cut mine out and put in a chromoly bar, weighs farrrrrrrrrrrr from 100lb's.
It's hard to see it in this pic but if you look in the front of the car.

 

Your intercooler is too small for anything over 450HP....Just an FYI
