bc-

i had a bolt-on locale turbo on mine.....

that's not the point of concern, though.....

i ilustrated the angled return line to show you how mine would union to the d/p. i was told an abrupt angle would/could/? lead to creep...

dont know it to be true, but the more gentle angle seemed to do fine in my case...

just fyi is all.... (i look at this thread ATLEAST once a day as it is... feel i should contrib something...)

ese

ps- perhaps the angled union is less likely to reverse flow exhaust gas or pressure??? maybe that could have a negative effect on the EWG exit?


dunno.......

daily update - day 41

i left little ricky alone last night at about 11pm. he worked until 2am. this is what i came back to this morning. the turbo is only half wrapped. and the pipe to the throttle body isn't connected but this is the first time i've seen the freshly painted intake manifold on the motor. i thought i'd share a preview of the general look of the engine bay.

speednice stopped by with his cousin to have ricky do his ss bushing set and my perrin crank pulley. theyre both great guys.

we dropped the wlabro fp in today.

have a great labor day weekend.
