I don't know, that's a very good question! I'll have to take a look next time it's on its wheels. Right now it's on jack-stands again so I can take care of some things.

Can't remember what exhaust you are using?

Mine actually went not bad except a little trouble with the V-band on the turbo.

I bought me a whack load of funny bendy twisty wrenches and universals. The right wrenches really helped.

Exhaust is squared away finally! Just had to loosen a few things and take my time tightening everything evenly. Drive shafts are in and torqued, and also the starter heat shielding. All that's left to do is set the crank sensor, add a 90 deg elbow to one oil line, fill with oil, install intercooler pipes, and turn the key!

And put the wheels back on.

Euro fogs finally installed with pretty much new housings thanks to 951saga. Thanks!

951Saga

Very welcome!

The fogs look so nice when new. Consider using this kit, Lamin-X, in 40mil or some version to keep them looking new. Wish this kit was available when I installed my fogs. I had to order a sheet and cut myself where this kit even includes turn signal protection.
The bumper looks to be lined up very well and the strut tower brace looks great.

BTW, is that a torque tube Christmas tree?

That is a TT with A/C lines atop it. I had no really good place to store the lines as they are VERY funky shaped.

Thanks for the compliment on the panels lining up. It takes some messing around with everything to line it up properly, but it is possible! The strut tower brace isn't actually installed, it's just sitting there...

I'll work on getting my old housings back to you. Thanks again!

Awesome!!! Darwin, have been following your progress....congrats.

Darwantae951

Thanks! Now the tuning process begins...It's weird having a computer open and being able to actually see numbers for parameters instead of saying "ok, coolant temp is at the first white mark." I forgot to look at the screen at first, but damn is it handy!

Congratulations Darwin

Video/ audio proof required! We want to share this victory with you.

Now get that thing buttoned up and enjoy!

Way to go!!! After all the time and effort, I know the great relief when you hear that sucker run for the first time. You may be the first person I'll actually move from the "in progress" list to the "running motor" list!

(However, without video evidence sometime soon, I'm not sure how long we can keep you on that list. )

though i wish you were still in the D/FW area!
