    LinuxRacr's 2013 - 2014 New Build Thread

    Tonight I got the remaining hot-side pipes bead-rolled, and connected them. I wish the previous owner had not cut them. I'm a little concerned about the coupler being by the manifold. May need a fire sleeve? I also had to deploy some anti-rub countermeasures to keep my pipes and lines...

    Since the piping had been cut to incorporate the relocation of the MAF sensor there is a section of pipe missing. Since I don't need the MAF sensor with my Haltech setup, I had this custom pipe made instead so I don't have to modify the existing FMIC piping. I plan to just cap off the...

    Tonight, I worked to figure out how to arrange my FIAMM Airhorns with the TurboLife FMIC below. I can't go back to the stock horn. It looks like I'll have some cutting to do on the upper grille to get it all to fit.

    Was able to cut both holes, and moved the A/C dryer lines down as well: I ended screwing it into the frame with a metal screw just blow the original location: Oh, and the FMIC is now mounted!!!

    I've noticed that the dryer lines in my MP3 connect differently than in the MSP due to the dimensions of the MSP condenser. Here is what I'm referring to:

    Tonight I started making preparations for the TurboLife FMIC. I moved the power steering cooling loop behind the vertical bracket. I also wrapped sections of the loop that I thought would rub with protection. Here I'm test-fitting the hot pipe to see where the best place is to cut with my...

    SOLD! Hello all, After tearing down my old engine, I found my Pauter rods in great condition. If I would have had time to do so, they would have been reused in my new build I am completing now. I am selling them as is for $275 for the entire set or best reasonable offer.

    Problems solved this weekend... This weekend I was able to traverse two big roadblocks in my build: 1. Fitment of the wastegate actuator: I found a solution to the wastegate clearance problem. I rotated the coolant hose clamp up and also bent the tube up slightly. 2. Oil return Line...

    Do you have this picture zoomed out? I think I understand. Your bracket is smaller, since it was for the stock MSP turbo, therefore you didn't have the clearance issues I did?

    I put the assembly together last night for test-fitting this morning: This morning during test-fitting I ran into a little snag: The wastegate won't fit! I am working on solutions, one of which I may already have in my possession.
