yeah the lines to the wastegate are wrapped in stainless so they look like drain lines.

There are two fittings that screw into the type-r wastegate. The two stainless steel lines screw into those fittings. The other side of the stainless steel lines have vacuum fitting adaptors that screw in. one side is threaded and the other allows you to put a hose on it. I'll post a picture for you.

They are actually vacuum lines to the wastegate. They use stainless steel reinforced line to protect them from the heat coming off the manifold and downpipe.

You need a better fuel pump if your gonna run boost anywere close to that turbos efficieny range. hmmm injectors are a bit small also. Don't run too much boost till you get those and a radiator.

Sorry haven't mounted the radiator yet, we have the fluidyne stock replacement. Still waiting for greddy to send the instructions and downpipe for the kit. But I've been taking a lot of picture incase I decide to do a write up, since noone has really came forward to help on the question I had about the power steering cooler. I think we're going to bypass teh power steering system and remove the pump and ac compressor.

I'll try to keep you up with pics. Should be mostly done this weekend.
