I love the car and can't wait for the turbo build. I like the fact that you went
Another route and kept your AC. Many people take it out, but I find that you need ac no matter where you live.

Nice move on the a/c fan. Looks like you will have plenty of room.

picked up downpipe bolts and lock washers

Got my oil sandwich adapter and a couple couplers. I already had couplers but I wanted the ones in the front grille to be black since they'll be visible from the outside of the car.
Also got the OEM Spoiler I bought. Needs to be painted first... gotta go find out about that.

I personally do not like the oem wings on del sols, makes them look odd.

Wow, so I ordered the 1/8" NPT plugs I needed, and bought the oil I will need, and I bought some materials from summit racing to make a braided steel oil drain line because the one my turbo came with sucks. I have 2 things left to buy... I need to order a basemap from phearable.net to get me to the tuner, and I need to have a downpipe fabricated or the one I have altered to fit with this different manifold.
I also need to change the clutch, flywheel, ISB, ISB seal, rear main seal, and install the ARP flywheel bolts. I have all the parts, it's just a matter of getting it done.

Edit: On the fan, you just reversed the polarity to make them pushers, correct? I have been thinking about doing something like this to clean up the bay a little more.

Yea, just reverse the polarity.
There's an A/C line mounted on the front of the condenser though which makes doing this difficult. I used some long bolts and some spacers to space the fan away from the condenser so that the A/C line could still be on the front of the condenser. I used some screws on the fan mounting tabs to hold them onto the fan (they slip off easily)
This pic shows how I used the spacers and the screw on the fan mount tabs
My A/C condenser was pretty bashed up already so I wasn't too hesitant to just jam a screwdriver through the fins where I wanted the bolt to go through... just make sure it goes through the fins and not a row.
You can see the nut and washer on the other side of the condenser here:
Kinda ghetto, but I can't think of a better way to mount it on the front of the condenser, especially with the A/C line in the way.
