Lol! Glad to help man. Change of plans for bracket dropoff. My girl Diana, who brought me to your place to dropoff the intake piece is gonna drop it off tomorrow for me. Hopefully the zipties will do in the meanwhile!terbow said:that call was priceless for sure. im glad u keep me updated. it makes the day go by faster.![]()

This isn't going to turn into Mark's weekend turbo thread...which turned into a winter-long project is it?

Well long story short, I got everything on ok, went well, tightened it all, then realized there was no way in hell the lines would reach their destination. Yep, I put it on backwards, lol. It's all set now, but I figured I'd brighten everyone's day a little. (first) I tried to finish scraping the old gasket off the intake mani but it's just not enjoyable so I quit, haha. Mark, I may give you a run for your money with your 5 month mark!

Haha, na, I have everything I need now, I just have to wait for this rain to let up and I can start putting stuff back. Chris, that is very ambitious of you. I hate to burst your bubble, but there's no way it'll go that smooth, lol. I still have a couple tedious tasks to complete, such as scraping off the rest of the old gasket on the intake mani and finish getting the oil pan off and getting the rest of the silicon from that off the block. Other than that, it's just a matter of bolting everything back on.chuyler1 said:So what's the status on the turbo install? Did you get all the parts and start the installation?

Haha, well I actually have a new already tapped oil pan from Beau. I just need to get the old one off and put the new one on. Speaking of which, what do you all recommend to use for silicon? I came into work today seeing as how we're suppossed to have t-storms all day.bazooka joe said:i f i could come doen and help...i'm leaving for philly tomorrow...i'd have that pan off in 30 seconds, off to the welder, painted and back to you the next day!!
