edit... this was my 1337 post.. oright :)
hoping for 300+ at the wheels :D
small update, since it's too cold out in the garage to be wrenching on it i made a heat shield for the hot side of the turbo
DIY stainless heat shield, cost a total of $19, we'll see how well or how long this holds up, eventually i'll throw a blanket on there
you'll never guess what i made it out of :th_laugh-lol3:

my guess is a small fender for a small trailer with a small tire lol
nope :D
looks like a cooking pan?
yes! similar shields sell for $80-100 so i figured wtf? $20 for a stainless cooking pot, it's worth a shot :th_laugh-lol3: i just need something there to keep the heat from melting my fiberglass hood
INTAKE MANIFOLD OFF!!! wow only took me all ****ing day, but the worst is OVER! got it off and installed the new injectors, ripped the cover off and reinstalled, my hands are all cut up and bruised, i have a terrible headache and im starving! but it's done!!
i hope i never have to remove the intake manifold again.. i'd rather pull the engine :th_laugh-lol3:

next up install the manifold/turbo and all that good ****, i'm waiting on new gaskets, after that the intercooler and piping :D
:th_nervous: Plastic intake for boost? Think that will hold up well???
*Excuse the ignorant statement, I know its not just "plastic" but I'm use to aluminum intakes for boosted cars*
Looks great tho, cant wait... keep going
itll work just fine. the gaskets would blow out before you'd 'splode the intake manifold.
It's only the bottle you have to worry about the plastic manifold...as seen here...

can't wait to get it out and get it tuned
welp she's pretty much done.. waiting for spring time so i get it out and get tuned.
ran the oil feed/return lines last weekend.. had to drill and tap the oil pan with the oil still in it, no way in hell i was gonna attempt to drop it, would have required either dropping the trans or dropping the steering rack, screw all that
