Here are some updates. Getting ready for these to go on!
Beautiful day for some walnut blasting
Not sure what I plan to get done besides walnut blasting but may clean some more things up. How it sits now.
Starting the RB Evo intake mock up. Decided to see how much clearance is needed and I think I can fit this kit without modifying it. This is the front only installed. I may have issues withe the dsc box; which, I have a plan for if I do. I really cannot wait to start the dsc relocate project.

Intake off.... you can see the trail of oil that was not cleaned from the last ofhg. When I go to replace the turbos I will also replace the ofhg and scrub down all sides of the motor.
They were pretty nasty, but I have seen worse. I was having issues with my camera, crappy pictures but you get the point
Better, but I am still improving. was having issues with the air compressor.
The motor finally burnt out three ports into the job. I bypassed the thermal reset and the tank filled with smoke. Here is how it stands. After I post this I am off to Menards for a new air compressor.

also got this done.
I am hoping to find some sort of coupler that spins so I do not have to keep spinning the hose. I have an idea and Ill post it when I figure it out. Here is the $3.99 harbor freight want I made. lol
I figured this solution out and can make these for anyone that wants. Please message me for details.

Here is the RB Evo intake almost installed.
This intake is on and functional. I have also swapped my turbos and installed an external pcv kit. The car is running great except for a slight blip on cold starts. I will get the rest of the pics that I have up from this process soon.

It always amazes me how people like you can do so much yourself. anything software I can do myself but anything that touches hardware such as the stuff you are doing the car, I cannot come close. Great job!
