It was 23:00 , let Americans figure that out :lol:

I worked yesterday 14 hours , and it was about 32 C , plus 100% humidity just awesome

Come on big guy, 11 pm is nothing!

Sounds good, looks good, hopefully you'll get to enjoy it a lot.

It looks like I am very close to finish ,

Downpipe was welded today, Fits better then before, Now I am thinking to get rid of the muffler I have , because car is a little to quiet , I like it for daily driving that way but it takes couple points off when you run it hard , I like that music that engine is creating.

Also It looks like I have little oil leak from turbo feed line, I think that restriction for ball bearing turbo creates a lot of back pressure ,and clamps are to weak to hold it in, It looks like I need AN fetting on that line, Other wise car sound so crispy,

I can hear the difference in compression when I'm turning engine off , It cranks for a ones or twice , before you could hear like four or five turns,

I can't wait to get on that pig!!!!

:lol:

I should finish it tomorrow night , I will post more pics tomorrow

today I had to come back under the hood,

I found on oil leak , that Is coming from PCV system, yes I reused hoses , don't do it if you want to remove intake, tomorrow I will do quick stop at the dealer, I will say that they have those parts in stock , so I will re do it afternoon ,

Otherwise car runs great , I have 60 miles on it

Congrats on getting it running! May want to revise the intercooler piping, but heck it's only the hot side and looks great.

Actually if you remove the drivers headlight you can add another 12" to air intake.
