even have the turbo mocked in place, youll be the first too see it all mocked up
Im debating if Im going to get it chrome plated, or powder coated black, but it is a major improvement over stock for looks imo.
welds are good, even pressure tested it at 30psi for 15minutes, no leaks
Thanks Ali, I was going to take some pictures of everything side-by-side like that and I got side tracked. Ill try and get some this weekend

Yeah, I was going to get more pictures, but just couldnt find the time, so I had to install everything right away. pics are up on my build thread, and once I get the last couple of bugs worked out and all the vacuum lines hooked up I will get a video.

Ok here is a picture update of the GTE upper in place, with everything hooked up, sorted out and running. No videos yet, they will be up in my build thread soon.
The Lokar throttle cable was trimmed down, and paired with a 5-6'' long section of the stock TC. The plug for the front sensor on the TB was the only thing that needed to be moved due to its original position being right next to the distributor. I plugged the TB coolant lines, MAP sensor installed, IAT sensor installed, all vacuum lines hooked up except for the signal lines for the BOV and boost gauge.
In the end, I was able to use 5 bolting points ( Had to use your pic Ali) show here circled in green (excuse my "circles")
The middle bolting point required a longer bolt with a counter nut, but worked great. The other 4 points, used the original nuts/bolts.
I used the stock gasket from the GE and trimmed accordingly, but carefully, and sealed with Ultra Black silicone.
Later on Im going to look into the Greddy styled GTE manifolds, and see what I can come up with.
