Kinda weird I don't remember the order of events but I definitely didn't fix the vacuum leaks when I said I did earlier in the thread, because I had the manifold re-welded in a couple spots and then dropped it off at the machine shop to be milled flat. It took 8 weeks to get it back sometime in mid-January. Right after that I decided to upgrade a lot of things.
My car's been sitting at a shop for the last 4.5 months (ridiculous shit delaying progress). Finally turned the car on and it has massive vacuum leaks due to non-flat flange surfaces. Fixing those this week hopefully with a new machine shop that will probably charge a ton.
At least it looks pretty good. - new intercooler
- new charge piping
- new tubular turbo manifold
- all new oil feed/drain lines
- custom coolant reservoir with sight gauge
- killerglass upper radiator hose
- new intake manifold with actual velocity stacks
- new blow-off valve with correct spring
- billet/polyurethane engine mount
- most things polished and then clear cerakoted

That sucks if you end up having to replace the entire ABS system. Oh wow that's not good. At least it was a relatively easy fix though for the blower motor. That's crazy that it spent the last 4.5 months in the shop. Like that's not cool at all that it took them that long. It definitely looks good though man! Nice job!
