Few more parts and some more progress... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Time's been thin, so I can't say I've got much done. Here's my list of parts that have come in in the last couple weeks though:

-Flanges for my headers, ready to start building them now.
-Painless pro street wiring harness
-my Tial 50mm Blow off valve
-Tial 44mm Waste gate
-MSD boost timing master

I've spent some time working on my ignition components and mounting them up, here's what I've got so far. The panel needs mounted and some more wiring cleanup is due.

Here are the pics of the Wastegate and BOV. I'll post pics of the turbo when it arrives, it should be here very soon though...

Looks good.

Where are you going to mount the panel at? I vote for inside firewall.

I thought that at first, but then realized that I want the Water/Air intercooler under there later too (when I have enough motor for it), so I found a good place in the center almost at the top. The panel will be parallel with the floor and the ignition stuff will hang from it, which is why I took so much extra time making a solid yet easily removeable mounting system with the nutplates.

Tight.
Like the swirl design.
