Got a few updates finally.
I swapped the T4 housing out for a T6 because I'm redoing the y-pipe. Gonna design it around my buddies big S400 Borg so I have room to upgrade to a big turbo at a later date and just swap the turbo over. It's kinda funny having a turbine housing that's bigger than the compressor though, lol. Hope lag isn't an issue
I also got the intercooler mounted up. Bolted it right to the crash beam and it puts it dead nuts in the perfect spot. Almost like ford designed it as an intercooler mount lol
I also mounted a set of SPAL fans to my custom radiator, found a set that fit perfectly

My trans was done a week after he promised, but I told him I was in no rush. Couldn't beat the price either

Bad ass!! i like that you have the stock cluster working! Whats with the low voltage?

Belt wasn't on, so no alternator output. I am extremely happy with the gauges, Joe did an absolutely amazing job making everything work like factory. You'd never know that the car didn't come with the engine. I actually am running a v6 cluster from a 96 to make it work correctly. The 2000 runs through the factory of PCM.
