What are your plans for the manifold/exhaust? Are you going to incorporate your current exhaust into the build?
This will be epic.

The manifolds are a bit R&D yet. I am waiting for delivery of a set of Evolve Long tube headers. I'm hoping to turn these into turbo manifolds. At worst we will use them to make custom fixtures, as I already have Stainless flanges made.
I plan to use most of my current exhaust since it is all custom from the stock manifolds back. Unless the turbos move things around too much, then we will be re making that all again.

I think there will be plenty of other noises to overtake that

Got up to the shop last weekend. Didn't feel like a lot was acomplished, but we made huge leaps forward in planning.
Got my newly refinished wheels mounted. They fit.....just barely. I will need to lower the car a bunch and play with some thicker spacers in the front and rear. I may have to pull the rear fenders a bit depending on alignment.
Found a home for these beauties
Made all solid bushings for the Diff
Pulled the stock manifolds off and test fitted my brand new evolve headers.....sadly they wont work, but I'm glad we figured that out before we cut them up. Anyone in the market for S62 longtube headers?
Dropping my spare block off on Thursday on my way to Chippewa Falls. Manifold mockup will commence.
We figured out the limited mods that need to be done to get the turbos to fit, and came up with a REALLY cool way to route the turbo piping.
