Alright, so my buddy sent over a pic of my modified oil filter housing.. basically machined it down to the base and welded 2 -10an fittings to it... First set in my oil system...
So I looked at how much room I have..... and I have none! So I had to cut and modify my driver side manifold to clear my alternator which needed to be moved to clear the oil fittings... I got a pulley off my friends 20v MR2 that works great on this alternator.
And then to get the ball rolling and moving... I modified my rear sub frame with 3/16" steel and 1.75" DOM tubing.. reinforcing it to prevent ANY cracking. Also Quantum Auto solid billet aluminum sub frame bushings.
Little dry ice makes everything so much easier...
And the finished product.
Enjoy for now...

Lol. All my rear arms and bolts are frozen as well as my e brake cables. All that to do a right rear wheel bearing and come to find out most of the play was shot bushings in the upright. So how laggy do u exspect that turbo to be? Do u know any specs on it?

I think the turbo wont be THAT bad... but I am expecting full boost at 4k... and I hope I am wrong, but if I shoot high I may be pleasantly surprised lol.
Some more pics of some goodies... no progress since last post... waiting on some bolts int he mail for the subframe.
However...
My shaved water bridges... kept the original temp sensor (now wishing I relocated it but whatever) and the rear bridge has the spot for the coolant sensor for the MS3x... other than that its cleaned up... and also turned down the head of the bolt for the bleeder to clear the FFIM better...
Some of my oil goodies... -10an all around... relocation, adapter and cooler...
And the start of version 3 of my motor mounts.. using poly bushings.

Looking good Matt. Still waiting to get my MK3 to my house to start work on it. This is keeping me inspired.

Passnger side... Its a little weird because I had to relocate the mount stand on the subframe... But its strong as hell.
Driver Side is complete... No bushings on it and the subframe side is not in the pics.. but this is the part that goes to the engine.
Adjusted the vband and collector to allow the alternator to fit... Here is it sort of together...
Easy way to get some pipe that is just a little smaller then the vband to fit...
Oh... And some nice mock up... since the engine bay will be a lot of piping, I need to route everything before I start to weld it up... The turbo sits 10 degree clock wise to allow the cold side to clear the frame rail easily... And I just used a bunch of my 4" bends I have laying around to see what works... looks like it will be fairly easy.
