Got my BOV welded on
My fittings and line finally got here last Monday
Made a bracket to mount both my power steering cooler and hydro fan cooler. Here are some pics of it getting wired out.
Mounted so you can see how they fit on the back side
Used the stock cooler holes for the hydro...
that is IF you have a plate big enough or access to one and most people don't. on top of that how do you plan on getting in between bores? unless your using an indicator across the top it wont work well. I'd use a good straight edge and a feeler gauge just like the TSRM says to do. more or less...
thanks guys, small update from this weekend. new DP is on and car is more or less ready to boost again, just need to get those two intercooler pipes welded. I'm going to try to go by a shop close to my house today to get it welded.

yea i had a few small bends like that and had no issues, my turbo builder was actually able to get them out for me the last it was rebuilt. as far as the wastegate flange thats normal for ebay manifolds...the quitaly just isnt there, i try to do my best to blend stuff like that out with porting...
more fun stuff
I cut the 3" 90 to fit, just needs to be welded and thats done.
I'll need to get a 3" coupler and tbolts for this.
Bov flange needs to be welded on
I also have to finish my dump tube for my wastegate and this thing should be just about ready for 18ish psi.
got the turbo back
oil lines went in great and look good
hate this pic because the lower clamp...but you get the idea lol
getting close real close. i dont think im going to take it out tonight because i wanna get a few more little things take care of...witch involve orders to DM :)...
thanks man!
ill take a look at your build. my manifold is just a ebay manifold nothing too special, most likely will upgrade down the road when i overhall the turbo setup. yes i plan to get it tuned around mid December / early January if the back account allows lol.
got the new gaskets and manifold installed
gonna start on finishing up the intercooler piping tomorrow. Hoping the turbo gets finished up by Friday so i can get everything bolted down. then any little welding i need or anything like that can be taken care of on the weekend.
thanks man, its defiantly been a long road. its always nice to see post like this, feels good to see others get positive influences from my build vs a troll being a troll lol. ill try to keep up that ass kicking and the pics coming haha [emoji4]
i haven't updated in a bit but Ive been real busy with work, anyways...

Bov & wastegate
Bov:
Wastegate:

after the inlet went in i decided to pull it back apart to get the new wastegate and BOV setup on. at the same...
coils 3 and 4 ended up being swapped, but the injectors are 100% ready for e85 now. will be ordering more stuff soon to wrap things up, and need to make a few things for my fuel system still.

well lastnight i went to harbor freight and picked up a spark tester so i could 100% check that spark wasn't my issue. I also did a quick compression test on cylinder 3 (one of the ones thats not firing) and it was above 145 on a bad crank so i ruled that out, by bad crank i mean low volts 11.64...
