Did you try using brake caliper paint?

It was 1200C manifold paint.. cured in an oven.. it didn't last on my header either.

LOL yesterday it was 2 tanks. Soon you'll be down to 1/2!

Dude - I know! I keep urging the two tanks, and he keeps saying one tank...

I can't wait until the break in period is over though - I can't wait to take a hard run in it.

so should we take bets on how long until he stuffs it?? J/K

The act clutch thing said 200miles break in, so I vote 1/2 a tank

Those gauges look great. My urge to boost is increasing.

Question, did you end up using a rubber hose for the oil return to oil pan line?

No, I think that's kind of like sending out bad vibes...no one would want anyone to do that to them/their car...

Here's to a long happy turbo P5 life, with much autocrossing and then a full dedication to race car in the future!

Yes. I have a 1/2" NPT to a barbed fitting on the turbo and upper oil pan, and a rubber radiator hose for the oil.

upper oil pan? you didn't do it to the crankcase support plate? oh right your turbo is ball bearing so it doesn't flow nearly as much oil through it.

The drain line was routed to the MBSP (sometimes referred to as the upper oil pan).
