Tight isnt it?
Whats your thoughts on the water pipe being as close to the manifold and exhaust?
Im sure im not the only one thats seen manifolds glowing red with heat - then there's the turbo! Thats a LOT of heat and so close to the water hose too! Is this not a concern?
Looks like your intercooler to plenum boost pipe is going to have to pass that area aswell?
Best of luck it does look good

from what i have heard from a few tuners in the past is thatthe air charge temps will not be effected as of the speed it travels
water temps i dont know about
personally i would like to keep things as far away as poss
just so i know the that its all good

, so its not a concern, the exhaust system will be full heat wrapped aswell

the time and money gone into that motor looks well worth it
is this a track or road car or have i missed somethink
the cooler on the front bumper might be a problem one day on the public roads as i had an oil cooler in a similar place went6 months without a problem untill i got a we hole from something, put new oil cooler on and done it again 3 1/2 weeks later so on went another one and a bit of chromed wire mesh mounted about 1cm away and been great well as far as i know( car was sold)
car does look well nice sod all the bad remarks

just out of curiosity, why is the turbo mounted in that orientation?
was it so the exhaust could be front exit? and what does this gain?
purely just intrigued, as all the other 'over gearbox' mounted turbo's have pointed inlet end forwards, which i figured meant a filter could be placed at the front with access to cold air feed,
also, isnt that gonna be a pig to get a hose from turbo to intercooler? the route looks somewhat blocked by the rocker cover and the angle from of the turbo
sorry if you have been asked these before, im just kinda confused by it all lol
