nice piece!! i'm still thinkin about your mani......mine is cracked (looks like in two places now!!!) and i'd like to have this as a spare so i can take mine off, slap yours on, get mine fixed.....(uhm)
Lots of Updates tonight.
When I went to put the manifold, turbo, and downpipe in it wouldn't fit. So I had to take off the downpipe. So I mount the manifold and downpipe, and find that the wastegate was hitting the engine. So I was reminded that I needed a spacer for the wastegate bracket, and that I needed to shorten the actuator rod all the way. I went to Home Depot, got longer bolts(5/16 coarse thread) and about 20 washers. A little over $2. Worked like a charm:

Fans..
While looking for a 12 inch fan for the radiator, JDM Sam informed me that the SPAL 12 inch fans were on backorder til October. So Sam started looking for local dealers who may have them in stock. We ran across a place called "Old Air/Cold Air" I called them, and they don't sell SPAL anymore. They did have a brand of fan I had never heard of called Maradyne. I researched, and found that the 12 inch Champion Series fans they were talking about have about the same current draw of around 7.4 amps of the SPAL I was seeking, and outputs 1155 CFM, while the SPAL I was going to get pushes 950 CFM. The kicker is that it costs $62, while the SPAL costs $95. Further research revealed that the SPAL is 2.05 inches thick while the Maradyne is 2.48 inches thick. The price was so cheap, I got two. Here are the fans I have:

Today's update...
My birthday update is the following:
I got all the piping hooked up, but need a 1 1/2 inch coupler to put on my HKS Blow off valve, since I don't have a pipe with the HKS flange welded on it anymore. I got both fans installed, and wired up. I had to use the 10 inch SPAL fan on the passenger side as a pusher. The other 12 inch fan is up for sale.
