That's a Saab elbow on the 115 intake.

What is that intercooler from? Was there enough clearance to put the 115 intake on without pulling the turbo? You should look into a Fram 8038 filter, its got 2x the surface area and you should have plenty of room for it in the SD engine bay.

I'm not trying to be an @ss, but your green coolant is low...

why do you have a gasser front end? Meaning your fan and its supports are not stock diesel stuff

That fan blows an incredible amount of air compared to the diesel's. I used one of those years back to cool a hotrodded 390 ford.
Mine is getting the same before its put back together after the paint goes on next week.
