So, a friend of mine tricked, I mean asked me to help him with his EVO9 Build, so it is in my garage right now. I can really relate to shop owners/workers that they are under paid for what they do for there customers! All the little things really adds up in time and costs. Anyways, Here is a little history with pictures of the build. He came with some supporting mods, but I basically did A LOT of work in a short amount of time.
Thanks to Speed Element and GST for the parts and help.

The car prepped to get it's turbo pulled out.

30 Minutes later.... Damn this is going really smooth. I think I can finish this today!

Then BAM. ROAD BLOCK! PROBLEMS. He wanted to keep his stock battery to look stealth, so he ordered a set of pipes from some and it did not align up! Not even close. Don't ask me who he ordered it from as I don't want to get into the drama with it, basically it does not fit, there is no way it is going to fit. The vendor seems to think it is installer error. (Whatever...) Here are the pictures: (edit found out that the pipes are for the stock intercooler, he has a greddy which moves the location of the pipes. That explains it.)

Screw it, I'll build a new set of pipes instead of waiting for him to order a new set. It's a lot harder than I thought, so I asked him if he will go mini battery. That makes it a whole lot easier to fab up new pipes. There was only one angle that was really tough to make, but it was fairly easy. All done in Aluminum. I have to say the fitment came out just as good as if he bought them. We will be powder coating them when done.

Here is a side by side comparison of the Greddy pipes vs. pipes I had fabbed up. I elminated several bends in the upper and lower intercooler pipes.

Fabbed a dump tube for the wastegate, always happy to use my ultra expensive welder.... Came out good, better than my own car. Damn it.. He's lucky we have different set ups.

Put the turbo together along with Wastegate, dump tube, Steel Braided lines, 02 housing, all off the car ready to be dropped in. It was kind of heavy...

I am waiting on a few more parts to come in. Once I get them and work the the car a few more hours we can fire it up and get it out of my Garage! Stay tune as I will try and update this if you want to follow.

Again Thanks to Speed Element for getting us part at a great price and for the quick response.

Thanks to Tommy at GST for the help in part of the welding.

Update:

Slimline Fan, although not needed at this time.

We are probabaly going to run stock ecu first (maybe run some E85?) and then switch to an AEM. Just trying to get the car together first.

Haha. Yeah, looks like UPS messed up on my last order of silicon cupplings. Something about getting my zip code wrong. It should hopefully be here tomorrow.

Need to put fluids in here, boost leak test, install intake and then we can fire her up. I'll tune it some and then we can wait in line for some dyno time.... Don't you love to wait? hehehe.
