Removed the resistor in the oil pump relay circuit, and reduced my turbo's oil line restrictor opening from 0.065 to 0.035 thus fixing my oily turbo issue!

Let it sit just like it has for the past 38 months. Not running and covered in dust / crap.

Installed a LT1 master cylinder to properly use the LT1 rear brakes I have. I had to make up a hardline as one doesn't match.

Used my homebrewed brake pressure bleeder.

Installed shocks on my M6 car Friday ... Bilsteins up front and 3rd gen Konis on the rear. Car rides like a dream compared to the old 85k DeCarbons. Unlike my A4 that has SFC's - no harshness at all.
