nope not yet, pics are kinda rare from me if anyone has noticed because I have to borrow my sisters camera and wait for her to email me the pics. But I will post the finished product when it is done. BTW I think my O2 sensor is dead with only 17k miles on it as it will 'stick' at a voltage and not start moving until you down shift to slow down then it starts working again. Its a bosch, anyone reccomend a better one?

I dunno. I thought that Bosch was really good when it came to O2 sensors.
Have you been noticing any white smoke? Coolant can kill an O2 sensor REAL quick.

No white smoke at all and oil is fine so is the coolant, plugs look good too. But I am wondering if my old engine may have damaged it when it cracked and started blowing unburned oil straight out the exhaust. I know some dsm tuners only use the factory denso O2 sensor cus they say it is better then bosch but I am not sure. My factory downstream motorcraft O2 sensor is still working perfectly with 164k miles which is amazing to me.

OK I installed a new bosch O2 and I won't know if it works better until tomorrow when I go to school. I also installed my colder copper plugs with .045" gap and put 15w50 synthetic oil in. I prepped more intake tubing. Now as soon as my centersection actually arrives I can install the actual turbo. So far I do have quite a bit of time into it but I have had to do lots of custom work and fabbing of piping brackets ect. I have been using a lot of hose clamps and recommend the tridon stainless stell clamps at a minimum and if $$$ allows use the 10mm locknut band style available from napa for about $3.50 a piece.

Actually I don't live anywhere really warm, but this is the oil that Tom uses at focus fanatics, he is an expert when it comes to turboing the zetec. It will help protect the turbo bearings more when really hot.
