[QUOTE=99 GS3;7307821]It took 5ft to make it to the glove box.[/QUOT
Good Lord.... I suppose I could do the same except I have a nice little pistol compartment in there where the stock CD changer used to be. My little Glock 26 fits perfect in there. Its nice to have a CWP. Im wondering what route VIP is going to take? I agree with the shoving the ecu up in there out of the way being a bad idea. But I think I will take a look at mine again this weekend and see if there is a different solution for relocating it vice extending 5 ft. Im trying to source a w58 or a r154 as well right now also. Not too many for sale here in the north west.

13's?? Damn, what offset you plan to run?
Congrats on getting the motor in hand. Fun time begins.
That's prob the only imported GTE I've seen that still has the upper radiator hose plastic clip/holder still on it.
You going single turbo or keeping the twins? You may have mentioned this already but I forget...

I know it's been a while but I've been busy with life. Plus I'm getting married!
Here are the updates. The motor is still not in but it is getting very close to that time. Lately I've been piecing together a power steering setup since I will no longer be able to use the GS430 Powersteering setup. I used AN-6 stainless steel braided lines to replace the hard lines coming out of the steering rack. This way I will be able to route and mount the new reservoir where ever I want it. The braided lines go to a custom aluminum reservoir. I had to purchase a hard to find 17mm AN adapter for the feed part of the steering rack so I can run my braided lines.
The BOV is in. I settled for a Tial 50mm with a 6lb spring. Not sure if that is a suitable spring for a stock twin setup. The inter cooler is in as well! It's a pretty generous size. I hope it fits. V-band clams on all the piping.
For the W58 I'm going to be using, the pilot and release bearings are in. New bolts for the pressure plate and flywheel are in. Master and slave cylinder are in along with a stainless steel braided line to connect them. I love these lines! I just now how to find the time to begin the drilling of the firewall and the cutting of the tranny tunnel. Any ideas on where to drill on the firewall?
Aristo exhaust flange and gasket are in so I can have a full custom 3" exhaust made once I get everything put together. That is all for now. I'll try and keep everyone posted.
