Just curious to see what happens after you get it running? I had a/c and a T-78 and the turbo was against the lines and caused them to catch fire. Basically ruined my a/c.

would have a video, but, exhaust leak sounds gross.
still need to order--filter, couplers, turbo blanket

and that alternator looks like doo doo, i know.

tighten the v-band clamps first then the two bolt exhaust flanges to fix your exhaust leak...I assume its from the turbo if it sounds that bad

Congrats on getting it running, I know the feeling! looks great.

Add oil coolers to you list ;) you can eliminate that AST since your radiator is verticle and you have a plug right there on top to let the air out. Should give some room to mount a intake just get creative with the sheilding and ducting for fresh air.
