Where did you get those bolts on the turbo to downpipe flange? They look weak to me and they don't have washers on them. 
I'd replace those before they back out and you waste a gasget.
Looks good otherwise.

/\ good eye....I'd have to agree on getting some better hardware on there.
Had a friend have his DP break loose on him while he was driving due to short bolts....
Needless to say he totally jacked his 180SX up. JDM police were not to keen on the damage to the road either.

You really need to use washers on the bolt end or locking nuts or nut + lock washer on the nut side. The bolts with simple "hex" head will also tend to cease very fast.
Like I said, I am very **** down to the last bolt.
