The housing is cleaned up and the turbo is reassembled; Junior goes over to the car and bolts the turbo's oil return line to the engine. | 
The return line is attached to the turbo; with a new TA gasket placed, he then mounts the turbo and tightens down its three bolts. The TA Performance 3-bolt carbon graphite core gasket has a 1,400-degree copper grommet-it keeps heat off of the carbon graphite material and creates a better seal. PN TAV1709 is $6 and will work with stock manifolds or any header. The turbo/wastegate/wastegate solenoid vacuum lines are then attached. | 
As I've had good luck with stock-location units in the past, I jumped at the chance to test Precision Turbo's Stock Location Intercooler.... |
...This 19-row cooler features efficient bar-and-plate design and a 3-inch inlet and outlet with smooth bends for maximum flow. It has a 750 hp rating, which is more than enough for my current goals. | 
The PTE intercooler installs by using an existing water pump bolt and the existing V-bracket on the driver side, along with an included bolt, spacer, and aluminum bracket. Here, Junior mounts the bracket on the passenger side. This install was a bit easier for us, as the factory fan setup was already off the car. | 
With the bracket on and the driver-side V-bracket lined up, the turbo and up-pipes, hoses and clamps are installed. A clearance check is made and everything looks OK, so all of the bracket bolts are tightened and the aluminum shroud is installed with the 10 included screws. |
With the intercooler in, all that's left is for Junior to install the two side plates over the sway bar holes to maximize flow into the cooler-this is left up to the buyer as sway bar clearance can vary from car to car. | 
I needed a new induction setup for two reasons: the '67's larger inlet, and XFI's elimination of the MAF. After some research I found Mark Hueffman and Turbo Regal Custom Parts. I discussed this project with him, and Mark was cool enough to ship me a system ASAP. I ordered his 4-inch Inlet Pipe system, a three-section kit of massive tubing that eliminates the MAF and relocates the filter from the engine bay to just behind the driver-side airdam for fresh, cool air. I started with the Big Mouth Lite kit, aluminum with no filter, for $80, and added the silver powdercoat option for $30. The K&N filter is a 9-inch/4-inch inlet cone type purchased separately, but TR Custom Parts has many different ordering options regarding MAF/no MAF, aluminum, polished, chrome, powdercoated, with or without filter, etc. | 
Here's the mounted K&N filter in front of the radiator support, behind the airdam. Note that I asked TR Custom Parts not to cut a hole for the air temp sensor; it will be relocated for tuning purposes later on. |
