I decided to go ahead and eliminate the two rubber IC hoses from the turbo to intercooler. I bought a speedsouce one piece metal pipe, just like the one I got for my 86.5 that Julia now has. Hopefully it'll be here in a few days.
Today I'll go finish putting it back together. I need to reseat the wiring harness boot back into the firewall, put the glovebox back together and put the radio/ac bezel back in. I was thinking of vacuuming it and maybe washing it, but it's windy as hell outside and only 44 degrees. The bath may have to wait.
