88t2romad's is 304SS, his is however not getting coated, thats why we did 304SS. We are going to use Mild Steel for yours, but it will be coated. I did do a downpipe for another customer on here, to4tii, that was just mild steel and uncoated, and that has lasted as a DD/3-400rwhp(depending on boost) for over 10k miles. However I won't do Mild steel uncoated again. A mild steel coated downpipe will work just fine, and I actually prefer that to uncoated SS in the downpipe application( for one much cooler underhood temps, etc)

I am going to use TFE line, atleast for the oil feed up to the hardline. However what do you think happens to the rubber hose inside the SS braid after a lot of heat cycles next to a turbine housing glowing cherry red? Hes going to AutoX this car, and can't risk a line breaking.

So I'm finally updating this thread. I will let the pictures do most of the talking.

Pineapple oil pan.



New front and rear sway bars and end links.





Modified WP housing for GT35R water lines. All work on turbo and lines done by Elliot @ www.Turblown.net



Heat shielding I got from summit racing. I havn't seen it on too many cars, so I figured you guys might like it or want to order some.



Did I mention I HATE wiring?? Not so clear wiring diagrams are driving me nuts. Send me a pm if you can offer a little help with wiring up the tps for a LT-10.



I'll get pictures of my KG fuel lines/rails when I get new injector o-rings. My old ones are cracked and very hardened. Im going to run a 750/1600 combo.
