when will this bastard be available for public purchase? :-D I want it now but I'm going to need about a month or two to save up the extra money and plop that much cash down at once (not to mention the install)

hey, he showed up right as i posted that...
we swapped out the wastegate vacuum line with a copper line to prevent it from ever burning through, since things are so tight down there. i flared the ends and zip-tied the silicone hose on the ends and that'll add to the reliability.
here are some random pics... stuff is pretty hard to see because there isn't a lot of room, but at least it's something.
you can actually change the spark plugs with ease now
for anyone saving these pics, i mislabeled the motor mount pics. passenger and driver side labels should be reversed. the driver side is the one by the spark plugs.

and...
please excuse my "vacuum rack" there... i'm planning on making a nice one. there just aren't very many vacuum taps on the manifold, so lots of sharing going on.

Solid Engine Mounts. Yes. It is amazing how smooth the engine is. No vibration except under heavy load or if you bog it

from looking at the pics and guessing -- yes and no. for the type I kit, i would say "yes"
but for the type II and III kit the turbo sits up high right close to the alternator it looks like.

So why do some people say that some things need to be connected to their 'own' vacuum source? I remember seeing that the Int-x should be connected that way. Is it a bad idea to just hook a rack up to the nipple behind the TB and connect everything there? (besides the wastegate signal) For my setup I was thinking EMU, boost gauge, blow off valve, and boost controller all on the same source.

Think of it as signal interference. You have XX vacuum at the manifold. The more tubing, intersections, and sharing going on, the higher the degradation in the signal. That's probably fine with a boost gauge. It is less desirable with your fuel control. Fuel control should be as accurate as possible making connecting it directly to the manifold desirable. It might work sharing through a junction, but it would be better to not.
