Fixed some shoddy wiring that I found when I pulled the Intake for the new one, pulled valve covers and installed fittings for catch can system, removed old heater core lines and replaced them, god I did because they were way worse than I originally thought. Front cover and accessories re installed, lines on for turbo drains, and my deka 80’s installed. Yass.

My only complaint is I wish I had more drop on my drains. Start to finish I probably have 3” of drop over 20” of hose. But it’s 12an and I didn’t use AN fittings so the internal holes are much larger than 12an stuff normally

Thanks! Noticed my radiator tank was bulged out and the ribs cracked, but the tank itself wasn’t cracked. Found a be cool 29” by 19” dual pass radiator for $220, so I picked that up. Radiator should fit a little better than the factory one also.

Let me know how the sloppy trans brake works out. I've been wanting to do it but I'd really like to hear from someone with a similar build on how it worked out for them.

Finished up the other side and then rain a chain up and down each tube to knock any slag or berries loose. Ready to go on and stay on

Pass side hotside on, downpipe done thru the k member, drilled and tapped the intercooler for the lower WG reference line and then routed it along the tube, air filter on and drain done. And removed the mesh inside my flex joints.

I’m mcloving it.
