Well the car is running, very strongly too 8) However I have three things left to take care of that are annoying.
-My tap in the vacuum lines for a boost gauge is no longer sealing right and the focker howls like a banshee between -10 and 3psi -Both turbos were smoking very heavily (normal I'm told for new turbos) but now the back one seems to persist...possible oil leak :shock: -I managed to be ULTRA SLICK and somehow disrupt the harness on my oil pressure sending unit so I gotta dig under the car and check to see if I managed to unplug it with the damn rear heat shield. All of these are minor, and the car is running STRONG!!!!! |

FOR REINSTALLATION: You will spend 90% of the time reinstalling the back turbo while kneeling on your rear valve cover (at least, I did
![]() FYI - I used Envelopes and wrote what part what bolts and nuts and gaskets came from and then sealed them. Have lots of space to set things down on. 1) Anti seize on every bolt and stud (minus the eye bolts) 2) Replace ALL gaskets (minus intake plenum and throttle body) - I also replaced about 90% of the nuts too. I didn't replace eyebolts because they're expensive. 3) Everything comes together much easier than it came apart. 4) With all the shit out of the engine bay, it's a nice time to take some Simple Green and clean that bitch up. I'll let you know about more stuff as I think of it. |
