HKS Sport Turbo upgrade for MK III Supra

Here's a pretty good shot of the turbo.
You can see the air outlet from the compressor and the dashpot (wastegate actuator) here.
 
A good shot of the underside of the turbo. You can see the adjustable linkage that connects the dashpot to the wastegate. You can also see a little round hole above the wastegate on the turbine inlet. This is the drilled and tapped hole provided for mounting an EGT sensor. This is where I have mine now.
 
Here's a good shot of the turbine side of the turbo showing the wastegate.
 
Here's another shot of the turbo, this time showing the inlets for the water and oil lines.
 
Here's a shot of the turbo on the car.
 
Another shot of the turbo on the car.
The braided steel line to the left is the oil inlet line.
The water inlet line is the black braided line on the right.
 
Here's another shot of the turbo on the car. You can see the heat shields pretty good here. I had them ceramic coated also.
 
I painted the elbow with some 1500 degree F aluminum paint. The paint is over 95% aluminum and is very tough. Hasn't shown any signs of heat deterioration yet. Really a neat product. I got it from Griot's Garage.
 
Here's a shot of the old and new elbows for the turbo. Stock elbow is on the left. Notice the much larger opening of the HKS elbow.
 
Here's a shot of the completed engine.
You can see where the compressor bypass valve plumbs into the HKS intercooler piping.
 
Another shot of the engine bay.
