I finally have the exhaust leak solved if not fixed. I still need to tweak the wastegate actuator bracket and snug it down, but at least the manifold is sealed to the head.
I don't know if I've posted any assembled pics, but here's how it all looks with the manifold, downpipe, B series radiator, and my massive sidemount. For reference the core of the sidemount is 12"x12"x3" and the entire intake tract from filter to throttle body is only under 8 ft long [emoji14] Plus the core is larger than most front mounts. I think the response will be awesome!
The radiator seems to be working great. It has about half again more volume than the msp radiator. I was worried that the slim fan wasn't working, but I hooked up my OBDII scanner and after idling for about a ten minutes the water temp was still holding at 198 degrees. Eventually the fan did kick on, but it only ran for about a minute. All in all the car idled for about 30 minutes while I checked setting in the unichip and checked the car over for leaks. If it weren't raining she would have gotten her first real drive. Sunday's weather looks good - maybe then.
