started my hotside today

picked up alot of odds and ends, as always, like spark plugs and exhaust pipe and whatnot to get this hotside started, tore down a cheapo wastegate we had and got it working, that will be going on this car. sprung it for like 8-10lbs hopefully. got the turbo mounted up in the car, close to finalizing that, going to hang the intercooler and start wiring next, should have brake lines for the rear soon and once that is done i will drop in the tank and run fuel lines also...
