Went for a very low speed cruise last night, just a couple blocks. I pretty quickly noticed some resistance when turning the wheel. Got the car back up on the Quickjack, and discovered one of my very clever clamp locations for the piping was interfering. It was a simple fix, but time consuming. I'll try another shakedown tonight.

The infamous steering knuckle charge pipe. I hate that one. I've asked Sasha for a set of pipes from the turbo to the one just before the intercooler charge pipe. I'm gonna pull them all and put the new set in because I believe that one is bent and damaged.

In my case, the pipe does clear, it was the clamp that didn't. I found what I thought was a great place for the clamp. Unfortunately, the t-bolt was just a little too close. But yeah, its a very tight spot. Easily my least favorite part of this project - other than my original non-functioning tune and my intercooler with the backwards bracket.

That part was just very frustrating. Windex is not optional there. Without it, you're just asking for pain.
