Almost collected all the pieces to this puzzle. Got the custom dowpipe set-up
ready to be welded, intercooler piping set, and a nice greddy front mount to
go with it. Just waiting on the last piece a AEM FIC. O yeah and cant forget
the 440 injectors!!!
Cant figure out how to post pics yet. But will figure it out when its all done

here are a couple pictures of the finished custom downpipe. Waiting on the oil feed line to come in then i can bolt it all up and give it a test run. Well still don't have the fic yet but i wont actually have the boost going to the engine. Just want to hear the turbo spool.

are you saying you're going to have the turbo installed, but not going into the engine? Bad for the turbo

so your putting time and effort and money into a turbo and car but the turbo wont go into the engine. so pretty much no gain of hp or anything. so why do it ?

i will be boosting the engine, but i havnt gotten the FIC yet. I will need that before I run the engine with boost so that i dont end up will extremely lean conditions. And I'm not going to leave it on, just want to hear it spool a couple times.

i wouldn't risk it. Just install everything at once...you can easily overspeed the turbo that way. No referenced manifold pressure--> no load on the compressor --> wastegate stays closed ---> all exhaust goes through the turbo ---> possible turbo failure
