Sexy sexy!
A little feedback.
Heat shield for the exhaust manifold, and better tie downs for those sparkplug cables.
Clamps for the hoses to the boost regulator, if those come off "on boost" its not going to turn out well.
Do not skimp on a break in part or fluid, it is much more critical at this point than after. That said I'd have to dig out notes and research, but off the top of my head I think Napa gold is wix and wix makes the yz Toyota filters. Get the oversized filters, it might cost a little more in the filter price and an extra half quart of oil but it is good for piece of mind that you won't hit the oil pump bypass.
And questions..
Is that brass colored fitting off the turbo oil or water? If it is oil drain that's not a good angle I hope the block fitting is adjustable, of course mine is horrible so meh.
No oil cooler? I know the OEM cooler could be better but it beats nothing at all. A TC can put.out lots of heat and lots of that winds up in the oil pan.

C'mon bro, give your boy some credit! I did mention that I'm waiting for some more parts, right? LOL! Like I said, little by little... The only thing I'm still searching for is the P/N for the sensor I posted about on page 8 of this thread. Co_94_PU identified it as an A/C cut off sensor but we can't figure out the Toyota P/N.
The OEM heat shield fits on the LCE Turbo Billet exhaust manifold.
The brass colored fitting is a coolant passage. Below are better photos of the maze...
I'm definitely not going skimpy on the break in fluid. I'll be using Joe Gibbs Driven BR30. It's the fluid recommended by the fellas at 22REPerformance.

So... I finally got the Toyota P/N (83430-96440) for the "A/C Thermoswitch," but... it's discontinued.
The sensor on the left side...
Boooo...

Thanks cdd408. It's TBD. Like I mentioned, there are still a lot of parts to receive and install.

Is that sensor broken?

84 yota dude... Yup, I noted what is wrong with it on my original post. Why else would I want to replace it?
The sensor on the left: The electrical connection core rotates a bit in the metal body and the sensing tip seems to be damaged because I can feel a wire tip protruding from it.

Duh, haha. I figured you were replacing everything at this point.

All good bud. I'm replacing most of the hoses, gaskets, considerably corroded parts and defective parts but not parts just because. After all, I do have a budget, LOL!

Haha roger that!
