I like iamboo's the best. Just the color does wonders. The red is nice and I bet it adds a couple HP. J/P, great job to all.

it's because we all got our kits powder coated different colors and some of us have a different plumbing design for our pipes...

isn't it because SF custom makes each one? Custom jobs are the best, IMO.

damn bro yours is mangled...

i should have placed the tap on the outside of the pan instead i went from the inside of the pan and stuck just the main hole through...either way it will work but i guess oso's way is the correct way.

yeah that flange got f-d up hardcore lol. when u do it, i reccommend high-temp red silicone. It was recommended by others on this site and it definately works well. Also keep in mind you need to re-bolt your oil pan after your finished so make sure not to block any bolt holes what would be above the flange...

sure sure blame innocent derek lmao...i believe ya it actually looks like they drilled through the holes of the fitting

hey did you guys put any sealer on the fitting for the rubber return line on the bottom of the turbo? i think i am leaking oil from there i am gonna put some gasket maker on it and see if it helps.

welding will be safer upon leaks, but red silicone sealant works as good.
