S5 Turbo just barely fit.. But it fits. I didn't realize the Turbo uses different Drivelines and Starters. So I need to get a new driveline made.



Waiting on new studs to I can bolt on my water pump.

It's a Sidekick. No 4x4... It's dropped about 5 inches has flared fenders on it. Green is the color I am going to paint the whole car. Sorry just tired of black cars. I have 4 of them. Anyway doing the green theme throughout.

Got my radiator and my intercooler. Waiting on my electric fan. Going with a 16" 3000 CFM unit.

Had to cut a bit behind the headlights for the intercooler pipes. I got the biggest unit I could fit into this small space.

It's a full 3 inches thick. My radiator is also much larger than stock. Anyway making progress.

Couple more pics. I got my Radiator bracket all done. Intercooler fits nicely behind the grill.

Got my 16" Electric fan today... It's too big. 2000 CFM but it's about 3.5" at the motor.



So I ordered a 14" that is 2.5" and I have a tad over 3 inches so it should fit.



Anyway another question:



I recall someone selling OIL INJECTOR LINE PLUGS? I think it's just a M10-1.25 Allen but I can't seem to locate these anywhere (Since I'm doing premix and not using the factory Oil Injector lines I am plugging them).



Injectors are at RC Engineering... Hope they all test good.



And my driveline came today.
