Went out to summit yesterday, Got my boost gage.
Didnt find a vacuum block. I'll probably just order one later.

I still need to grab a 2in-2.5in coupler reducer to hook up the piping from the turbo. Summit wanted something like 30 for one...

I got bored and had a little bit of purple spray paint left from a friends calipers.. and i just started painting my oil pan.
LOL It'll be getting replaced soon. its all dented up and stuff, but i didnt find any in better condition at the junk yard yesterday. so till then, this one will do.
Next oil pan will be welded in and probably painted glossy black. lol

Thanks man, cant wait to get it running..haha

Got the pan on today, bought new plugs, gas filter, 10w30 oil. And gonna check autozone to see if they have colder spark plugs (11) tomorrow.

I'm still trying to find something to make my catch can out of. Was thinking a spray can or something. we'll see, already got some 3/8 house and fittings for it.

The pan looks pink on the picture.. because of the flash. Looks kinda cool purple lol

I actually like the pan being that color. If there is a leak, you should be able to spot it immediately. If it was black, it could be disguised.

I'll definitely be able to see any leaks with this color lol. specially in the beginning while im getting all the kinks and stuff out of the set up.


Today i extended my O2 sensor, As you guys may know, there is 2 Black wires, 1 White and 1 Green. Im guessing both black ones are grounds..?
So it shouldnt really matter if i got the black wires mixed up eh?
