Thanks.

Couple issues I need to sort out:

Need to pull the crossover out and reseat it.
Possibly need to pull the driver side tank out and replace the fuel level sensor. Had sporadic readings.
Need to get rid of the coupler down near the turbo. So, need to weld in an aluminum reducer in that area.
Fix some wiring that I may have accidentally cut. Coolant temp sensor was not reading and brake fluid level sensor also not reading.
Ceramic coat the hot side. Wrap areas that may cause issues.

Same tuner will be doing the tuning on this setup. I have the Bosch 210s in there. We were having trouble building more than 20psi of fuel pressure. I think that helped with the startup, lol. Need to pull the cross over/tank back out and see what's up.

Just found out my clutch is not disengaging completely. I had a clutch stop on the pedal because it was over extending the PP fingers on the last clutch. I removed that and it got a little better. I may have to pull the TT and trans and shim the slave. Going to try to bleed it and see if that will help. Seemed to get a little better after pumping the clutch a few times.




I wrapped the manifolds and the merge pipe. Going to try to correct the fuel system issues tomorrow or Friday and hopefully be able to drive it around.

Yes, coils are in the fenders. Yeah, I made a bracket that holds it up from the K member

Pretty much the last of the fab work I need. Got rid of the 3” to 4” transition rubber coupler and had an aluminum one welded in.











Added a port rt to the upper radiator hose so I can use the stock coolant surge tank.











Wired up the oil temp sensor and fixed the fuel level sensor issue.

Just bought a set of Track Spec hood vents.... Ouch, but I will definitely need them with the summer coming up here in Texas.
