Is your exhaust existing in front of the driver side front wheel? And what is your turbo supply line made from?
Exhaust comes out under the fender and the oil supply line is from Swagelok (left over lab supply).
Got me on the Swagelock, never heard of it. In one of your photos it looks like copper tubing - if it was, then I'd recommend against that.
The exhaust exiting on the driver side will require a very good stereo system to be audible when cruising. And when you hit the loud pedal, you'll be the first to know (but I like it like that.)

The oil line is all stainless. It might look copper due to the reflection of the turbo blanket. As for the stereo, I will likely be too preoccupied listening to the turbo spool to worry about tunes for a while 
Idling while warming up:
It’s rich and still burning stuff off, but it sounds good.
Heat wrap on both downpipe and intercooler piping helps a lot!
