Assumed the car in your sig is yours. Either way, you should probably be able to tell me where many people get their pressure reading

haha yea it is boosted. I bought an oil filter sandwhich adapter (GReddy) and then it comes with ports in it that you can use to screw the oil pressure lines into

Here are some quick picks. Haven't really unpacked anything. But here are a quick few to wet your lips. hopefully I'll get my UEGO early tomorrow, so I can take the downpipe to get the lug welded on. And I'll make many pics and vids during the install on saturday!

looks solid! That brand new turbo look pretty

i recommend the oil sandwich as well if you can find it. Makes it a lot easier than dealing with the stock oil pressure sender and whatnot.

Man, this is taking longer than expected. But that is to be expected

Tapping the oil pan right now. That will be done soon. Everything else is off the car. Intake etc. So soon we will bolt the pan back on. And tap the oil sender thing(couldn't find a sandwhich).

Then tapping the cooling lines will be no prob. Mounting the intercooler should not be a problem either.

Doing the fuel injectors will take some time. But it should be done tonight. Maybe even fire her up I've got lots of pictures, but I dont' have time to post them now. And I'll make a vid of the engine running with it on.

Don't do anything too crazy ("fire her up") til you get her tuned.
