Hey Atomic took better pics of the space between the intercooler manifolds and back wall. I can fit my whole fist with plenty of space between so going to have plenty of room for fittings. Please excuse the unfinished clearances cowl section and dirt, everything will get a good cleaning before final assembly...

Default Wastegates

Hey, check out Denmah (sloppy mechanics). He put his wastegate in the exhaust housing. Says the boost can be controlled better. He has a YouTube page and website. He just posted the video a couple days ago. He says that's what all the cool kids are doing these days.

That has been done long before but its general best to avoid that if at all possible.

Thanks I'm doing this latest build 100% by me no one else is putting their hand in this one so taking me a little longer to get things done in between work and other projects. Progress is slow but steady

Started cleaning up the front part of the frame tonight and tried out some 3M coating on it. I forgot the damn wheel lock key so wasn't able to pull the suspension and everything off so I could get all the way to the cab but still got a good idea of how to deal with this nasty wax coating. The best and by far the easiest thing I found was scraping off most of the coating with a small scraper and some lacquer thinner on a rag. Stuff comes right off. A lot easier then I though it was going to be. I just did the front frame horns tonight but am really happy with how this 3M...

Damn Wireing harness fell on that one piece near the driver side coil over mount when it was still wet so ill fix that on my next days off when I prep and coat the rest of the front frame section. Overall very happy with how well the coating sprays and lays flat. The first few pictures it looks kinda blotchy but only because it was still drying. Ill have more updates in a few days...
