I think you could have done better by pointing the compressor outlet downward and then using a 90 and maybe a 45 to line the piping up with the rest under the headlight.
I also think your DP is too small, with such a big turbo you should really run 4", at least part of the way back.
Looks great, though. Putting a car like this together from scratch is a real bitch isn't it!

Hey man, not to knock, but it never ceases to amaze me that someone will spend thousands of hours and thousands of dollars on an engine bay only to ghetto it up with a shitload of ORANGE sealant oozing from every seam. 
At least use the black stuff and wipe off the excess.

At least use the black stuff and wipe off the excess. I no I no, that is my bad. After it was dry i was going to fix that. I was thinking the same thing after it was done. This was the only fitting that i used the red RTV.

Why are you going to all that trouble to keep the AST? It's not necessary you know...it would be that much simpler and better looking w/o it.
Also it was unnecessary to plumb the hose from the rear iron into the water supply. I cap the nipple off all the time (along with the one on the stock WP housing).
You'd be surprised how much of the harness you can eliminate when going single/no emissions/premix. About 75% of it for that matter. IT also makes things look MUCH better.
Since you'll now have an unimpeded view under the UIM due to not having an alternator, I'd do everything possible to clean up underneath. This would include the harness, and possibly coil relocation (FC coil with MSD for leadings, relocated stock trailings or FC trailing coil relocated).

I am using the AST as my fill point, AST and the point that i hook the overflow to. It was a easy way to do every thing i wanted to do.

This was to get any air that could be in the motor, it is routed into the front adapter also then to the ast.

I have cut alot out of the current one right now. When i get about 1000 miles on the motor i am going to start with the fuel system. I am going to buy a new harness.

I am buying that coil relocation kit that is in the 3rd gen For Sale section.
Thanks for the comment

Your project is badass, it's cool to see all the progress you've made 
. You're lucky that you have a great support system in Houston with a bunch of smart rotary guys like chuck and kyle

Kyle and Chuck are some bad *** guys, they were going to drop by today for the start up but the motor they where building ran longer than they thought.

Well for the last two days i have been messing with a problem i am having with the darn rear primary fuel injector.
It is not firing when you frist start the engine, like it is stuck closed.
I messed with it yesterday and finally got it to start firing and everthing was fine, drove it up and down the road a few times.
Now today i went to start it and it is doing the same thing, not wanting to start do to the rear rotor has no fuel in it.
So i guess i am going to have to pull them and check them out.
Does anyone have a extra fuel injector. 550cc
I havent tested the fuel pressure to make sure that isnt the problem.
Well i guess this was the problem i was looking for during the entire project LOL
