Nice, that's the setup I plan to go with to start.

Do you have a picture of your oil pressure gauge installed in the daylight?

I can take one if you would like. It's black when the car is off, white during the day, and red when I turn on the headlights. All the wiring is run through a small hole I punched in the air duct

If you could that'd be great. I want to put an oil pressure gauge there and want to see a few more examples.

I can't take pictures of the gauge lit up as that requires starting the car, and with the turbo, oil, injectors etc. taken out i don't think that's a great idea lol. But here's some dark:

I personally like the look, since i have the boost gauge on the other side of the dash it looks more oem than doing a pillar or something.

So today I realized the frankenturbo does not come with the coolant feed line, I'm not sure why I was under the impression it did but I already sold my old one with the feed line still connected. Ecs wants $140 for it and Audi wants $190...ughhhhhhhhh anybody got an creative ideas to get one in like 3 days?

Please check and let me know! Do you think you have the two fittings, the coolant feed line, and/or the coolant feed line screw? I don't want to have to wait to install everything because I was being any idiot lol.
