How did you get that radiator to fit without it being bashed by your hood? I’ve got a Civic radiator at home that I tried putting in but it was too tall.
Well, the hood’s off of the car so…
haha, no really, I haven’t shut the hood yet, but it looks like it’s too tall, I’m going to be ‘trimming’ up the frame a little to get the radiator to sit lower… I’ll post pics after I do it…

what piping is that and is its custom would the replacate it for me just the passenger side
The passenger side pipe’s consist originally of 3 pipes…
the pipe attached to the intercooler, that enters the engine bay, is one of the pipes that came with the kit, I didn’t ‘mess’ with it at all…
The charge pipe that attaches to the previous pipe, connects directly to the intake manifold, the silicone hose is hiding a less than perfect weld… This pipe was orginally supposed to run along the top of the intercooler, but I cut it up, and had it welded to a piece of the original charge pipe (containing the BOV flange)

I did get the tial from dave for an extra 100 bucks…

the kit doesn’t require a half size radiator, the kit comes with piping to snake up around the battery, down into the bumper, across the front of the car (above the intercooler), back up into the engine bay, around the battery again, and then into the intake manifold.
However, as I enjoy destroying things, I put the small radiator in, and sent the turbo right to the intercooler.
The dump tube is dumping right onto the return line right now…
I’m planning on changing that before driving the car though, I’m not sure exactly what I want to do with it… I’m considering that front-bumper-dump thing that people on h-t are doing…
I did put the gasket in… that pic was of a test fit… it came out better than the pic of the final fit.
there are a lot more pics here if you want to look.
I spent the last two nights running the wires and pressure lines for the gauges, I don’t have those pics up yet though.
