Well, I was hoping to get more done this weekend but unexpected circumstances had me out of town yestersay. So, that's that
This is what I got done this weekend.
Re-mounted the radiator
Mounted the electric waterpump
Mounted the overflow under the front end
Finished the side mount alternator
Installed a new throttle cable, waiting on my mazdatrix bracket though
Ripped the dash out
Did lots of wire sorting and simplifying
Ran a wire port on the firewal in back of the throttlebody for a cleaner look
Ran the AIT, MAP, Injectors, Coolant Temp Sensor and TPS wires through that hole.
Then, wire up the injectors and Map Sensor.
I'm fricken beat.......

Once that's done, I'll toss together a nice heavy duty turbo mount.
The throttle cable, I see what you were saying. It angles the cable down, I haven't thought much of it. If anything, I figured that tap could be bent to a 90 right ?
For my throttle cable, the bulkhead fitting that fits in the firewall hole. What did you use for that? My kit came with a plastic peice but it's already broke in half ! That's what I get for buying one from autozone ! haha
You can see here, how the flanges don't line up

Yeah, i took after my bracket with a vise and got it just where i wanted it. I had to do a bit of welding though because i am running a morse cable.
I don't think i am going to brace my turbo. The inlet piping is VERY heavy duty and rigid and the downpipe will support the weight of the back of the turbo. When you see the piping you will laugh. It is all at least 3/16-1/4 wall, i bet you could pick the car up by it. I figure that should be more than enough.

I know that I could have used a common rubber hose connector. But, I wanted something better. Something that wouldn't blow off, and I think it looks alot nicer than a rubber hose connector.
My V-Band Assembly is fitted with a rubber o-ring.

Grind those flanges off ? I paid nearly $100 for those flanges

Just a suggestion of what I'd do. You could zip those off (and save it if you like) and stick a coupler on with very little effort. Could also put a bar between the turbo and charge pipe to reduce the seperation forces, but I don't think there'll be much of those forces with the way your setup is anyway.

I'll have a heavy duty turbo brace too, so even if I got rid of the v-band flanges.................... the turbo brace will keep the turbo from moving around therefore keeping the manifold from moving around

Yeah, it will be welded and all one piece. I mocked it all up today and drilled three holes trough the two pieces and screwed it to hold it while it was being welded.
That throttle cable is just a morse type cable. I like them a lot better than the traditional cable style.
HAHAHAHA what about that looks normal?
