aLmk's Turbo FA5

Today I hope to get downpipe in and the passenger axle out. I hope the axle nut will come free. I do not have an impact gun.

. You can get an impact screwdriver at autozone for like $8 that will get the axle nut off

Needs a Garrett gt35r I got one for sale lol, nice build though man

I'm going to stick with the 30r for now, plan on being stock block for a while and a 35 is just too big for me at this point in time.

an impact gun will make it easier to work

Certainly, but I don't have one, nor do I have an air compressor.

Thanks. My buddy does have battery powered impact tools that I suppose we could use if we need to, I'm hoping I won't need an impact.

Made some progress today. Got the downpipe in and dump tube/wastegate clocked correctly and tightened down.

I just need to try to get a 45* fitting or something to clear the chassis for this slashcut.

And I need to have my buddy come over with his grinder and cut this stock exhaust hanger thing.

Still waiting to receive the axle. Today I grinded away that thing that was blocking dump tube. I actually had to grind a bit more away than I first though but that's done. Subframe is back up just need to get the front and rear torque mounts in. The rear was being a **** is a usual and I ran out of time because I have to go to work. Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to finish getting subframe and mounts tightened up and torqued to spec, finish running my evac setup which is basically done, tighten the slip join on my exhaust, full her up with oil and start her up for the first time. Hopefully I get the axle tomorrow before its really late and I can get that put in in time for dyno day tomorrow.

Not sure if you already did it or not, but make sure you paint the bare metal with something or you will quickly get rust!

Nice progress!!

Fuck I didn't. I well I can do that with the sub frame up. Idc if the other shit around there gets a little black spray paint on it.

Alright so car is completely done except for axle.
First start:

Tools used to remove axle nut, check out that new 3' cheater bar

And this is what my passenger axle looks like. There is no tear in the rubber from what I can tell, but the rubber pulled off the iron piece. It seems as though it could be repaired, but I'm not sure if that would be more cost effective than replacing it with a new axle. Another issue is, even with this off the car I cannot get the iron piece for the passenger axle off the half shaft. Any suggestions?

Congrats on your success... I know that feel of a first start up...
