I got all of the gaskets, except the turbo to manifold, and elbow to turbo, I know.. Although, I plan on pulling the turbo back out, hopefully in a month or so, for a 57 trim upgrade

WOW! I love the look of your engine bay! How did you paint the black detail? A fine brush? Also, i noticed that you don't have a heater VSV...what did you do and how is it working? ( i need a new one, but don't want to spend $400+ for a new one...

I like! Not sure what magnesium looks like in it's natural form, but that's the color I'd imagine it to be. You can compare it to the alloy on the coil mount to see what it was - much better!

Magnesium corrodes to a dull Grey.

You know, that charcoal canister looks like poo. I need to pull it out, and redo it with a nice gloss black. Then I'm thinking I'll do the TEMS actuators, as well!
