dun dun dunnnnnnn. took adams (Honestabe) advice and put a 90 degree fittings on my tank to filter line, cut the length in half and looks 5x better. just need to make a bracket for the pump again to lower it a little further down.

in this picture it shows the fuel line and the amount that was taken off by doing the 2 90's

Soooo much better. Definitely must have been sniffing gas fumes at the time

hey do you still have that heat wrap you were using on that rubber line to your valve cover? the one that you just turned into a SS line that i attempted to help you with lol. i could use some of that stuff for a oil return. i found out that the socketless oil return i have for turbo is a -10 and not a -12 line :) and what that means is i can get rid of that crappy ass rubber socketless hose and replace it with some fancy SS -10 line i have left over from a fuel system lol. but im thinking that the hose might run very close to the headers "thats where that heat wrap will come in" i might also be wrapping the headers with DEI header wrap. which will also lower the risk of the hose melting i guess. i was looking for information on the heat levels for the hose, but since i dont know the exact manufacture it makes it really hard to find the information on it :p all i know is single layer of braiding and teflon interior. i thought it was aeroquip but im not sure if its a PTFE hose or not. if thats the case im good to about 500F but who knows

well heres the newest update, honestabe hooked me up with some Earls front brake SS lines. So ill install those some day lol, I just ordered my wastegate flange inlet/outlet. found the stock crack case ventilation hose :) ordered a new TB gasket. now all i need to get so far is
1 valve cover bolt
4 turbo studs
1 1/8"bspt plug
And exhaust manifold bolts.
need to find someone to weld up my turbo housing to a sharp 90 degree. then laster on i will probably have to order some small sections of IC pipes once the engine is back in for "final" fitment lol

Each 90 fitting is = to 10 feet of straight hose for resistance to flow.....

At least use 90 sweeps NOT elbows..

there is only 3 elbow
2 are on the fuel rail, 1 on the tank.
also was there ever proof of this? I know there was a conversation and i was going to do some virtual testing on flow rates but i never got across to it

today has been a day of driving back and forth with the girlfriend :p but meanwhile i had a chance here and there to pick up some stuff.
New exhaust manifold studs/lock-washers/nuts
New Turbo studs/lock-washer/nuts
replacement for the 1 missing valve cover bolt lol
took the 1/8 bspt plug off of my spare engine to plug a oil feed hole that im not using.

everything is mounted temporarily again just to make sure it all was correct
p1636872_1.jpg

only thing i had a problem with was the upper left stud for the turbo hitting the vband :( its ok i had a shorter one on hand :p

i also received my wastegate flange today, which ended up being a wrong order :( so i have to send it back and make sure i get the correct one this time

Wrong orders BOOO!!!
Great example why customizing things makes projects take so long.

I feel you on the valve cover bolt, mine disappeared into thin air when I went to check torque values at the studs.
