I had them made at a local shop with a lathe for CHEAP.
Took them in a spare PS pump with an idea and new small allen head bolts for the pump and they made me an adapter.
The PS resevoir is nice being that it holds more fluid and is internally baffled.
I had an issue with the PS overheating and overflowing when tracking and i only once had that issue with the new setup. (without the cooler installed and being boosted)
this year with the power steering cooler i should be able to drive all day and never overheat the PS fluid.

Intercooler is in from ebay and the alternator is in thanks to Steve at panic motorsports.
I hope to mount this intercooler in a strange position but gain airflow from proper ducting.

I am going on vacation to Naples, FL this week... so i wont get any fab done this week.
Going to look at a new tig when i come back too! Get a little more serious with a dystany 250 for the new fab services i hope to promote more in the near future.

subie style!
haha no.
the charge pipes will be routed below the pop ups with the intercooler essentially right below the rad support.
i will experiment with this and i might run a second IAT sensor pre IC to determine if the intercooler is getting heat soaked and junk.
will be using 18 guage aluminum sheet for ducting of the front end coolers. (rad, power steering, intercooler and possibly down the line an oil cooler.)

popup function is gone. the hole on the driver side is just a peice of 3" tube i had so i can get an idea of what i need to do.
for now im using the stock headlights with the motors removed and bolted so they are always up.
finish welding of my manifold has been on the backburner so i can finish other peoples manifolds... right now is the big time of the year for people wanting to do this type of stuff in canada....pre season.
