Installed. I welded an aluminum block on the backside of the panel with threaded holes.

Routed the water lines for the intercooler. Still working on intercooler placement...space is somewhat limited back there. It will be a top mount.

We had to use the Subaru key + ignition switch in order for everything to work properly. I made a mounting bracket for the ignition switch. Powdercoated wrinkle black.

It's always the worst to get to a build thread before it's completed. Dammit!

I know this feel, hopefully we will have it done soon however :p

Updates for this weekend. Turbo is mounted and in its final location. Uppipe is all welded and painted (waiting for header wrap). Intercooler has found its placement as well. Here's some pics
