Update: **** my life.
Lol jk jk. I've been working all day every day for the last three days. I've got a LOT of s*** done but there's still a good amount to go. I can honestly say that I wish I would have gone a different route with the intercooler but it's not that bad I guess. So far I haven't run into any more major road blocks. I'm just tired and my back hurts. I hope to get the car running in a couple of days. Around half of my first day was spent swapping the valve body so all in all I've spent around 30 hours on the install of the turbo so far.
Twis, when are you planning on doing your install? Whenever it is, make sure you set aside a solid week just to be on the safe side of things. I was able to find the fitting I was looking for after 5 hours of driving around town.
