i cannot get myself to like that Top1 lip it just doesn't look right IMO

Ok so let me get this straight........ We removed our functional setup and paid money for a nonfunctional setup.......... SMH lol

I came up with a brilliant idea... it's in progress I will have photos up later this week...

[Spaz]

also put the turbo back together and started reinstalling will post photos tomorrow

Got a chance to start working on my car this weekend. Installed the new coated manifold


decided to put the turbo back together








bolted it up lightly


Mocked it up to clock the turbo




Very excited to be able to put my sway bar back on this season! Rewelded a new bung on the downpipe to clear O2 sensor from sway bar.


This is a support bar that I just used a big hammer to to clear room for my dumptube which was touching


now there's plenty of clearance

Buddy Dillon took some photos too and helped me out

We started out the day by fixing an oil leak that Zack chased down to a "Christmas tree" of plumbing tees for his AEM oil pressure sending unit, OEM sending unit, and turbo feed line. Here's where we started:



Good idea of where the leak was at:



So I wrapped some "heavy duty" teflon tape around a brass elbow fitting and put it back into the tee as tightly as possible.



To allow the elbow to connect to the AEM Sending Unit I had to grind down the tee's backside:



Voila



Got under the car and went Santa on this b*tch...puttin' Christmas trees up in this b*tch..



Some other odds n' ends we took care of include a new throttle cable which you can see Spaz cutting metal crimps off of here:



Re-tucking and fixing a leak on a PVC line:



Clamping up the DP:



Getting the O2 sensors in:



Mocking up the turbo with the painted cold side and ceramic-coated hot side:



And making the sway bar fit with the DP:



The man and the masterpiece...



:thumbsup:
