Here are a few more updates. Take a look at JIC Majic's welding on the y-pipe, not the greatest especially considering they are machines welds.

Here are some pictures of the motor from last night. Everything's staying on for sure this time, no more mocking up, test fitting, etc.....Sorry, but I didn't get a chance to clean up around the motor before I took the pictures.
Here's an idea for you guys that might have wondered how the HKS GT2835 turbo kit would fit into a GS300.
Last, a picture showing the clearance between our custom intake manifold and also the brake boost / ABS unit. We had to also modify the stock low pressure AC line a little for the intake manifold to fit.

I am really happy with the custom intake manifold. The intake manifold is quite a bit larger then stock, but it retains the stock location. If you are using a JDM intercooler kit made for the Aristo, there are no modifications needed in order for the intake manifold to work. Just have to get a reducer for the Wilson throttle body, in which I am using the 80mm one.

Here are a couple more pictures to show the clearance of the HKS GT2835 kit. Besides the piping themselves, there are no fitment issues with the turbo and manifolds.
