I actually ended up mounting the oil cooler right behind the intercooler, and ducting the whole opening with sheetmetal through to the radiator. Will have to see how it performs once the engine is back in the car.
Throttle Body is stock, exhaust manifold is custom with a custom downpipe connected to a custom 3" exhaust with an Apex'i GT-spec muffler.

that is a thing of beauty! do you have any pics of the porting that you wouldn't mind sharing? if not, i respect your decision not to. i'm just curious.
i can't wait until i hear it fired up and idling.

Well, the engine is back in the car! Almost there, still planning on dyno'ing this coming week. Also wanted to take this moment to thank Fris and everyone at Lucky 7 Racing who have done an awesome job on the engine and have been good enough to take all these pictures for me!

Time is money! I'm hoping to fire it up tonight and will take some video of it if successful 
Thanks for all the kind words, I'm kind of glad that it had no compression and had to rebuild because now it *looks* awesome!!

Have you seen the manifolds and Downpipes that Turblown makes?
will you be monitoring EGTs and all that Jazzy stuff (looks at all the bungs)?

Success!!! Fired up like a charm, and sounds AWESOME! Unfortunately my video camera wasn't so awesome, so I have no video 
I really liked this shot though:

I'm changing the turbo to a Turbonetics T76 with a 0.96AR S-Trim exhaust side. May as well go all out at this point
Should be here Friday then I'm planning on tuning next week!
