This is a little bit off subject but, where on the oil pan did you put the oil tap for the turbo? Any pictures?

The oil tap??? The oil feed is a modification of the oil pressure sensor that is T'd and one end of the T the pressure sensor is relocated, and on the other side is a -4 AN steel braided line. Both the oil feed and oil return line are pictured above. I will let you figure it out

cjb80 you upgrading the whole rear end of the car.............diff/axels and clutch? If you aren't/haven't...........I am taking bets on how many miles you get on the car before something vaporizes.

Nice! Man I envy you... If only I hadn't run out of money! Looks awesome though. So close. Bax... you can see the oil pressure sensor in the pic that supplys the oil feed to the turbo and the blackened plug almost directly below the center of cylendar (my spelling stinks so not sure if that's right) 1 & 2 at the bottom of the engine is the port for the oil return. Are you installing your turbo yourself?

No, Simon is going to do everything on it. Right now it looks like I will be flying up there the weekend after this weekend. (Oct 5) Mike is going to do some basic street tuning all next week, and then next Friday/weekend we will be doing full throttle tuning.

I will seriously never drag race the car, the tranny should be fine provided that I don't shock (launch) it, or repeated power shifting. At this point there aren't any options to upgrading the S2000 tranny, so all you can really do is Kaaz diff, and built axles....
