gt3574 project (help)

Here is my project. In the second link, second page, there are pics of my "installation." Does it look correct? I'm looking for any feedback I can get. Tell me I did a good job, or tell me I'm an idiot. Either helps.

Link one (FD Rebuild)

Link two (FD Rebuild 2)

Holy stable batman!! The Bimmer, the 7 or the Viper............choices choices....

I don't see much to comment on as far as things missing/what not.

You'll love those stoptech's though. ******* great brakes.

If your talking about the alignment of the center bearing section, then the key is to loosen up the turbine housing bolts so you can rotate the assembly in a way that the oil pressure side is at the top and the oil return is at the bottom... the more straight up and down these are the better the oil return flow will be

the compressor cover bolts can also be loosened to give you the ability to rotate it to the needed position for your intercooler plumbing.... just remember to re torque the housing before running the engine

My dilema was the fact that I didn't know what I was doing. Since posting this I have found out that I actually did install the kit correctly. The only other thing I would need to know is how the fittings (I'm guessing oil lines) connect to the turbo.

The intake is a Knighsports. It was made to fit there vmount kit that you see in the pics.

The Viper also has stoptechs, and yes I love them. Very easy to bleed and change pads.

Bastard--- thanks for the info on the oil return alignment. I wasn't aware of this, and the ic opening for the turbo is pointing down right now, so I will have to rotate it to work with my intercooler.

I have a webcam up now as well. If you want to check it out click below and go to View Video.
