No offense, but did you have a game plan when you went in and put in your plug wires???

Everything else is great though! <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

No plan at all... I dont see the problem though...?

Broke some vacuum lines during the install, so I had to make do with what I had (hence the stretched out BOV line)

I had just finished a headgasket job in this parking lot you see here, with a $10 socket set. Im suprised the car runs, personally. Wasn't too worried about aesthetics at the time

Randy, awesome job. I should have some pictures soon as some were taken today at the PCA drive.

Slacker. You lazy kid! I needed a friggin navigator. We got messed up directions and I was on the phone, holding directions, and driving a PS-broken 944! Grrr...

I think what is being said on the wires is that they could use some seperators to clean them up a bit like in the pic below. Nice engine bay!!

No sweat, but the next one you're going with me. Unless of course you drive, then it can be a race. Seriously though, I'll forgive you if you come visit your sister in the 951 and let me feel boost once more!

There are a few problems I need to attend to before it becomes my daily driver.
There is a coolant leak when the cars running, and I cant find where it comes from. I am thinking it is just a hose I didnt clamp down enough.... as a result of this, my fans arent coming on, so the car heats up in traffic.
I also cant build any boost, so im thinking its a vacuum line problem... I already know of one that isnt connected for sure, which I broke
After that, I still have to fix the overboost problem with the wastegate. Im gettin close though.
