Surprise AZ
Hopefully stopped an oil leak that has been pestering me for some time. The drain tube from my turbo wasn't sealed very well at the block. Pulled it, cleaned it, roughed up the "nipple", and re-assembled tightening the piss outta the clamp. The clamp wasn't on very tight and I think that WAS the problem. Shot the whole side of the block down with brake cleaner...we'll see how ti does the next couple of days. Also, replaced a POS electric Pro Sport EVO oil press gauge with a I-Equius mechanical one...I now have accurate oil pressure. BTW, Pro Sport cust service totally sucks. I'm going to send them a pic of the mechanical gauge and tell them how I fixed their POS electric one by replacing it with a different brand mechanical. Lastly -- I wrapped my cold side IC piping with titanium header wrap. When I ran my IC piping, it had to all be custom fit and the best way I could do my upper cold side pipe routed it right over my header between the turbo and valve cover. It's now wrapped to keep the IAT temps much lower.

Pic BEFORE I wrapped it today:

.

yeah I think for a season or two, I mean I need to fully assemble the nose section to take measurements for the proper fitting size, and by that time, I'm tired of loosening bolts...

and a custom set up will be easiest to set up after everything has made its way back home

Currently stranded on a fishing trip in Minnesota debating what to do next to my car.

I love the "hmmmm what should I do next game", it feels so good to have another poopra ^_^

I'm thinking either dropping it or getting wheels at this point. I'll fab up an exhaust by the end of fall, I wanna make it myself if im paying for it. As soon as I get home and have wi-fi I will start a build thread :)

That felt so good to say :)

Looks good. Are you going to use a more fine grit to make it even more polished?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

Naw I'm happy with it :] I just wanted it shiny so it didn't look bad against my new water pump and new aluminum rad and fan shroud. But I did file the seams out of it haha

So my friend hit me up today and said he has some 18" falken wheels with tires he will sell me on the cheap cheap. Given that I neeeeeeed new tires anyway I might have to do it assuming they fit. Here is a pic

When I get out of the sticks ill start a build thread
