Update: The Oil pan is a *****. I need to buy a pry bar today to get it off. But it is coming along well. The fuel system is almost done, it's electrical that's left. The missing link valve is done. The T-fitting with all the vacuum lines is done. Ahh, too tired to really get down and dirty in details. I'm heading back down there now, wish me luck.

Almost done the install. Oil lines are done now. We need to bolt on the downpipe, run the ignition wire from the fuel pump, ground the pump, and install the charge pipes. Then it's good to go! We already have the oil in it. Vacuum lines are done. Intercpooler, done. Turbo manifold, oil feed, and oil drain lines, done. Should be running in a couple hours.

I'm really interested in the Missing Links Check Valve. How did you hook it up? Which one did you use? I bought one too and I'll use it if I ever get a turbo kit for my beast. We'll see... 
I couldn't make it today. Too tired from work now to check things out (got work tomorrow too at 4:30AM). Post lots of pics though, allright Joe?
I'll see it sooner or later though!

fuel system and wastegate are somewhat defective. I can't pass 4.5 psi, and it runs lean unless i'm decelerating then punch it.
I ran it at 3psi today, and it ran ok. I ran full weight with sub, rims, and no weight reduction.
@3psi I ran a 15.6@88.9mph
I already figured out how to run rich with 4.5psi, but SF is maling me an MBC for free to solve my boost problem. He'll be sending me my alcohol injection system at the same time. Tonight I'll set it for 4.5psi and run it till monday, then get my issues resolved.

the wastgate doesn't do much to my boost.
the fuel system runs completely lean.. you need to be running about 3300 rpms before you can floor it and still run rich.
i got it at 4.5 psi now and it's hella fast

When you mean defective, do you mean a part that was sent to you was defective, or the design itself is defective? ???
