update time
i got the fuel rails in today , but i have to take their brakets/bases to the machine shop to have another set made so they fit on the ls2 intake (these are ls1 rails ) , and i have to make a crossover and connect it to the filter :
i also layed the harness in through the hole in the side of the engine compartment, and figured out how to mount PCM and DME , the PCM will have a bracket holding it down while the DME will mostly be velcroed in place:
and this is how it looks with everything back in place, the fuse block and the OBD port will be hidden behind the removable panel under the rear window.
what i have to do next is finish the wiring ; i have to connect a switched source and an all time positive source as well as ground the harness. also have to connect the fan signals and maybe ,,,, just maybe ,,,, make an engine compartment harness for the porsche sensors
i also gashed my thumb while making a bracket for the throttle cable
but i think i'll spare you the details
so the plan is to finish as much of the electrical stuff as possible , this way i can scratch it off the the list and get that much closer to firing up this thing
i also found out that i don't have the pressure hose from the pump like i thought, so i have to see if i can get it locally , but untill then i can only make the return portion of the hose.
next up is finishing the rails , connecting the harness and mount the brains, and finishing the throttle cable
then its back to the engine compartment where i should start buttonning up the engine and get it ready to start ( i hope ) .
also as soon as i get the rest of the interior stuff i'll finish the interior an scratch that of the list

loool, we don't travel THAT much its just a small code between a special group of people ,,, think freemasons but on a more redneck level
as for the spiral wrapped stuff, that is the original porsche harness . i guess they want to be special and wrap it with cloth strands instead of loom like the rest
i'm not planning on doing any major audi stuff, just the head unit i guess

First i'd like to congratulate Brianjw4 on finishing his project !! he beat me to it 
i did manage to inch close to my goal since the last update
i got the new rail adapters back from the machine shop , i have to test fit them and then powdercoat them. ( sorry no pics)
i also finished the last peices of the fule line i need to hook everything up :
also finished the sexy , yet thumb cutting throttle cable bracket ( this needs to be powder coated as well ):
and this is where it will be located - poking from behind the gold colored brace :
i also strated on making the engine compartment harness (finally !!!!) , it will be using this connector ( can't remeber what its called) and will run next to the ls1 harness through the grommet hole :
i'm also going to get a throttle cable made today so i can finally be done with the the throttle pedal deal
so next up on the must do now list is :
-wire the + and switched + wires
-wire the fans
-fuel pump wire ( i'll be popping the fuel tank open to check on things in there , just to check )
-disconnecting the pump so i can cycle through the ignition to check for the wires i need .
-finish the engine wiring ( extend MAP and Crank sensor connectors, grounding cables)
-engine ground
-get a pressure line made up for the P/S pump and have it mated to the stock one.
