For tapping the pan with the fitting supplied by InlinePro, my friend and I are a little confused. He didn't have a big enough tap and needs to know what size the pipe thread is and the threading so we can get one.
I believe the AN flare side is 10AN. I belive it is the same as included in the stage 1 kits too. The pipe thread side is what we are trying to figure out. The link below says the size for 10AN is 7/8-14 SAE. Is this the size of the tap that we will need? I have a feeling that I'm making this much more complicated than it is.

I already have it on the turbo, but heres a picture of a similar piece I'm talking about. In the small picture on the right bottom corner, there would be an o-ring around the middle hole.

Wont putting that patch area on you intercooler hinder the flow of air to the upper portion of the intercooler? I would think it will make it less efficient and make it only work like a smaller intercooler. Say if its a 1000 hp intercooler, now with that restriction to the upper part of the intercooler, it'll be more like an 800 hp intercooler. Could this be possible?

Did you have to cut your frame rail to get the turbo to fit?

Yeah, it wont be as efficient, but the thing was originally rated at 1200hp and huge. I don't think that it will make it a whole lot worse though. With how much power that I will be runing, I'm 99% sure that I wont have any issues. The top part isn't blocked off. It just has less area in front of it in the end tank.

I also received my new charge pipe today and compared it with the old one.
Heres a picture comparing both pipes with the pipes at the same position.
Heres a picture comparing both pipes with the BOV flanges pointing the same way.
