Not much to update. I had a moment of free time while waiting for my battery charger to charge for the headlights I am working on for another member. But the downpipe is in the process of being welded and I didn't want to feel as though I totally neglected my car so I decided to start routing the water/meth injection setup. I will include location pics once the piping is done.

Hmm there are a few steps left but we are getting very close once the piping is all welded up the remaining steps will be figuring out what we discussed last night putting everything together and some tuning, lol that's a pretty vague answer. I just don't want to overexcite myself just yet, seeing that today was a sunny day and the roads were dry was bad enough.

What would a Legend Twin Turbo Down-pipe look like?
Well here is my idea of what it would (does) look like.. . .Yummy!

I could not be happier with the flow of the Y

Thanks guys and Vic I will bring you a bag lol. I can't thank Joe enough it was perfect. Lol Though I guess I could share the fear that we had when we were sliding it into place just after being tacked. I nearly had a panic attack because it just didn't look right at first (being the first time I saw it fully assembled outside of the car without being supported somehow. Then as we were fitting it in the engine bay it seemed way off at first. Then once it shifted in to place a sigh of gratification fell upon me like well lol.

Thanks guys I will get shots of it once I get some free time I gotta get the rest of it ready for welding anyway. When it is all don and running I will take pics with my camera phone. :D
 
Hey Tilion! Beautiful job. Can't wait to see your Baby monster Legend.
What kind of pipes did you use? Where did you get it?
I just picked up the Garrett T4 Turbocharger, So i have some ideas to do on my car.

Thanks, the piping is mostly off of Ebay, Jegs, and Summit Racing. the piping varies a bit I used Weld els for the headers, 16g mild steel for the downpipe, and 16g aluminized pipe for the exhaust. The collectors are hooker, and the Y is all me (and Joe who welded it up).

On a side note the fuse blocks came in today.

Ok here are some pics of it in place before I pull the engine, I need to increase my starter and alternator wires and route the VSS plumbing around the drivers side like I should have done the last time it was out. Luckily it is all ready to be yanked as I anticipated this. Well here's the pics.
(sorry to me they are all beginning to look the same)

Ok I have re-routed the VSS and Power steering hoses to the drivers side. I honestly should have just done that the first time I said that I was going to do it.
