you should tig a little tiny heat shield onto the vband of that front wastegate. it's going to get COOKED being surrounded by red hot exhaust runners like that.

Brake lines look great! Good call on keeping the booster. Biggest thing I regret when I did mine.

I love the color! Every car I work on has the "green" (Tahitian green in my case) for its engine bay.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it before, but I would reconsider that fan shroud if I were you.

This design works great when you stand still and the elec fan needs to do all the work, but when you're driving, the airflow wouldn't be as good true the rad compared to one without a shroud or with a shroud that has some extra openings in them. Some stock cars have extra openings with a rubber flap on them so air can pass true while driving.

Don't forget these engines get very hot.

For the rest of the build, nice work!

Looking really good. You have definitely put a lot of thought into this process.

So is it possible to flip the booster canister over to feed the vacuum line closer to the bellhousing?
