No more broken or stripped bolts! I guess I should have known the difference between 15 lb-ft and 115 lb-ft, but I was sidetracked talking to a buddy while I was working on it. Fortunately the bolt actually started to break instead of actually stripping.

I'll be working on it again tomorrow if you feel like driving to the Deer Valley area

Decided to call it a night right here. I need to trim up the fan shroud and find the connector for my fuel pressure gauge. I have an 07 truck engine cover that I need to cut holes for throttle cables, then I can cover up the ugliness on top of the intake manifold. Tomorrow is turbo day! I didn't feel like starting on another big chunk tonight.

Best part of the afternoon - my girlfriend actually helped me all afternoon/night! She's definitely a keeper
