Not to thread jack but does anyone know where/if the V2 is still available i remember i was looking at a tuner kit for $3750 but i havent been able to find another tuner kit. Personally id rather have the oil drain so i dont have to deal with changing the SC oil seperatly

Im confused here is where im sitting now more close up im wondering if the cast iron is upside down? Not sure what im missing.
Few new shots of where im at moved the lines behind like yours. The gap between the fexible AC line is it supposed to be this tight?

Well im still stuck here and not quite sure everything was actually tightened up good before now i cant figure out how to get this thing the way everyone says any insight would be great heres a few pics.
This gets in the way like crazy as well since the coupler wants to rest right here.
Bottom View looking up at it car where charge pipe actually sits now.

Put the fuel pump in today wasn't hard at all. Almost seemed too easy really. Walbro nubs were already filed for me and I didnt have to file anything on the top part.
Waiting on a few new couplers and the rest of the CAI for the vortech and im set. K&N filter arrived today for the CAI.
Waiting on 90 Degree 3.5" to 4" coupler and the 45 degree aluminum pipe to get to the wheel well should be here soon.

The intermediate cast aluminum pipe looks like its installed backwards. Flat side should face towards engine and the part # casted in pipe should be on top. Conventional wisdom would put flat side towards frame.
Yes that is my engine in the Avatar, It follows along the same details as does the chassis. Will post my build thread soon, battling some health issues and hoping to finish current build this fall.
