Where were you when I spent hours meticulously tying mine up with SS wire? Nice find! Will definitely pick some up to keep on the shelf.

I actually have those but they're such a pain to use. I used them near the turbos but they never get tight enough..

Not to mention they might as well be razor blades. Why the hell do they have to be so sharp?

Make sure you wrap the crank and throttle sensors if you have not done so. I fried mine on a track day!

No TT here but I remember hearing people melting vacuum lines near the snails. Just something to consider.

What is your total cost at so far OP?

Unfortunately I had plenty of problems along the way so the cost of the adapters is what killed my original budget of 5k.

Right now, including clutch (1300) and 800 the tune locally it's about 6k

Looks factory!

Twins for ~5k can't go wrong there

Put the car down because I needed the jacks for a FI exhaust install for a member here!

Don't mind the plastidip :x tried it last summer but hated it so I was taking it off and didn't finish

Also, I got the passenger side manifold bolted any torqued to spec. Going to try and test fit the engine back in tonight if my friend actually comes.. just hoping

Super excited! Finally the first time I can see my work in place. Install the engine quickly with just the passenger side so it's easier to drop in. Checking clearances and whether I can adjust lines etc while it's in the car.

Looks perfect. Might need to move the PS bracket a tiny but but we will see.

Better pictures to show the space between the turbo and the chassis.

I can't wait to drive it !
