I have finished all the intercooler and turbo plumbing now.

Part of the reason I changed to a center feed intake manifold is that it moves the throttle body away from the front of the engine and as you can see in the photo below I now have unrestricted space behind the radiator for a fully ducted hood exit.

Next thing I'm doing is to replace the firewall in the engine bay. I've bought some big sheets of cardboard for making templates, then I will have to remove the engine and weld in the sheet metal based off those cardboard templates.

This video is a pretty good overview of where the car is at now
