Woody Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looking good. Curious as to the "not being able to take advantage of the cam" comment though. Someone care to explain for this n00b here?

RobH Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) well today i got my down pipe fitted i also got the rear cradle out of the car and cleaned up the rear diff serviced the axles boxed and rdy to ship out to get remaned and all the bushings replaced i still have to get the rear spindles back on and the d2's installed and setup then the rear should be done right now on the mpi i think all i have left is to rap up a couple things i have a few wires leftthe radiator needs installed and intercooler pipes (this i have not put much thought into yet)and i have to tap my oil pan and run a drain line for the turboand i should be finished and rdy to try and start it i question where should i mount my iat sensor ii think it should go in the charge pipe but does it matter how close to the bov it is or the throttle body Edited May 11, 2011 by RobH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
