I made a support bracket for the oil pressure sender. The turbo oil line is Tee'd off the engine block at the sender. Since it hangs away from the block, I wanted to support it for when the engine shakes from hitting the rev limiter. I used steel fittings for all the lines except for the turbo oil drain line.

The lines to the turbo connect with bulkhead fittings to make it easier to remove if needed. I also made a bracket for the fittings. The lines were also covered in fireproof sleeves.

I made a heat shield to protect the AC compressor from radiant heat from the manifold.

I made small L brackets to support the intercooler. Shaving Seconds welded mounting tabs to the intercooler end caps and I made aluminum angle supports to mount it to the brackets on the frame. I was lucky that it cleared the AC parts and fit under the bumper.

I cut the intercooler charge pipes to route them and had them welded. The only couplers are at the ends of the pipes. The intercooler clears the AC evaporator and drier and fits in the bumper.

The charge pipes were welded into single parts. The only silicone couplers are at the ends of the pipes.

I made a heat shield for the turbine to keep the engine bay cool.

I bought a Forge adjustable wastegate actuator and spring kit. I had to cut more threads on the shaft so that it would close fully.
