As far as the turbo kit goes, I wish I was more up to date on things as I was just out passing through Denver for a vacation in Salida with friends last week, would have loved to check this out in person!
@Cruisers and Co how's the oil drain plumbed? Do you tap into the block? Had to do this on my other build (not a cruiser) and would be a lot easier with the motor on a stand. I ended up going with a pan that had a fitting welded to it, but only a hair high enough to keep the oil draining properly, especially under boost when it squatted the rear down (fitting on the back side of the pan). I wouldn't expect that to be a problem here, but curious about this part of the install at this point as I'd want to do it ahead of time if the motor's out for a refresh first.
Also, how are the under hood temps when crawling? You have some nice looking shielding which definitely should help! That said, cruisers run hot and I already had to do something about the PS to keep it from whining when getting hot on the slow crawls.
