Ball Bearing vs. Journal Bearing

I have been working like a crazy man in my shop on my BP install, here’s an update.

I have had some time in between part shipments to work out some details on wideband and boost controller vacuum sources, also required is a vacuum source for the BOV. With those needs in mind I decided to install a vacuum header. I purchased the header here: Vac Header

I found a nice spot inside the brake/clutch fluid reservoir location to mount the manifold. I am also installing an AEM failsafe gauge (wideband/AFR) and an HKS type S boost controller, getting through the firewall at this location is not too bad, there is a large rubber wiring boot that allows access. I added a Z1 motor sports sticker I had laying around.

I have a ton more pics of all the install, it’s too much work right now to put together a build thread with all the work I have already done, that will come later.
