try having interlinked smoke alarms so when one screws up they all scream equally so can't find the faulty one. And for a brucy bonus, UK units are mains powered with battery back up! Weird how they always fck up at 2am, ours did the same..
Yeah this is the way my house is. They all go off, and it's so goddamn loud that I can't even get near one of them to rip it out of the ceiling. What I dont understand is- since they are wired to the house power anyway, why can't that also charge the battery instead of having replaceable batteries that ALWAYS fail at 2AM? I have a bundle of Anthrax letters going out this morning to all fire alarm companies, just to cover my bases.

Without boost, does act like a big muffler but in boost, im not so sure. Wot is going to be gnarly, but if youre wot who cares
Usually turbos muffle better at wot, but almost not at all at idle and part throttle. It has to do with the exhaust gas reaching sonic velocity in the turbine and wastegate.
Makes sense. My cold starts are brutal for my poor neighbors in the early mornings but at wot, my wastegates drown out my exhaust.

I don’t have an answer yet, but it’s definitely something I need to look into. Maybe some of the twin turbo folks can share how they’ve gone about feeding theirs.
Low mounts you have to pump the oil so.its easy to return into the fill cap. Not sure how the top mount kit works but gravity is your friend so tap a fitting like fox said and call it good I'd guess.

It’s now more clearer than ever, that this install is not gonna be for the faint of heart. I’m definitely gonna have my work cut out for me.

Most folks say after all the effort into making a single kit work, they should have just did twins.

After watching those videos, I can see why. This is going to take a great deal of patience and creativity, in order to pull it off.

I’ve seen videos of others out there with this kit, so I know it can/has been done. It’s not gonna be a walk in the park by any means though.

The more I research, the more I’ve been able to find ways that others have successfully completed the wire tuck.

Absolutly 👌 i think a lot is boring time consuming stuff. Nothing hard. Heck I just built my first coyote engine everyone thought I was MAD. i enjoyed the process , and my forged sleeved motor with all the good bits cost me less than 1/2 of what I would of if I just brought a crate motor from the USA.

did you consider the CG fabrication kit ? That fits with no wire relocation.
