Well i'm making my way around the forums...here are some pics.
Tons of thanks to tons of people.
Turbo is pretty toast, but driveable, and im only hitting 5psi, it's still not tuned...but what boost I do get when it's not dropping to 11:1 afrs feals good.
KA24ET up and running

Re: KA24ET up and running (toki)
as you can see some of those were taken while fab was still going on, but you can see in the 1st pic it's all still the same...

looks good...what are you gonna do for fuel control? is ur battery smaller or how did u fit the intercooler piping? what size piping? how much did the piping cost?
lookin pretty man, very nice.
how come you didnt change the orientation of your compressor housing though? You could have rotated it so the hot pipe points down instead of to the driver's side, woulda saved you some pipe and maybe made it easier to fab up the IC piping?
lol also am I going crazy or is that your power steering canister over on the passenger side? Is that how it's set up in the SOHC KAs?
Lookin good though man, hows it drive??

lol yup SOHCs have powersteering resevoir on the passenger side.
as far as the piping thats the way the fabricator felt it best to do, I told him almost every setup I saw pointed it down and have the filter on top...but hey he got it done and it looks cool to boot.
it feals pretty good for now, only hitting 5psi, and sitting around 11:1 or lower afrs for the power band...my guy who was supposed to tune it unfortunatly had a family emergency so we had to put that on hold til later this week. So for now it's just not going to blow up....
unless someone forgets to tighten down the end nut on the compressor side again. did I mention I need a new turbo? or atleast to get this one rebuilt and another compressor wheel. Thats what a quarter inch of front to back play will get ya.
