Im down for you helping me with that if you are up for it. Give me a call when you have some free time.

Also got the new turbo in the mail today!!! The thing is in really nice shape.

I dunno if there's room for it on a 2g, but in my car I had to relocate the battery due to my upper intercooler pipe, so I just put it down on the K member. It was pretty easy, and works pretty slick!

Well the new headgasket is installed, block painted up, and I am working on cleaning up the engine bay from top to bottom before the install of the engine. I found a hook up through a friend for free black powder coating so ill have photos later this week when I get stuff back from them. I placed an order through anplumbing.com for all of the fittings that I need and am also waiting for my COP plate to arrive for the assembly of that as well. One of the last things I need to do is order a few gaskets and find a link on how to convert a NT 1g throttle body to run with turbo, anyone have a link for me? Thanks to JET ill have my turbo ready as well as some custom piping as well that will also be powdercoated black!! Ill only be lowering the battery instead of relocating it. I will keep this updated as I complete more tasks.

Ya ya... it is taking for ever but it will all be worth it in the end I hope!
I just found out that the throwout bearing that was brand new only about 1000 miles ago has a broken tab off the side where that wire clips into it. That makes me mad!

I'm just waiting for my powdercoated parts to come back which sounds like it will be next tuesday. I opened a small business doing internet website design and development so that is taking up a bunch of time along with work right now. I'm goin to work on the engine bay more tonight as well as installing a few parts into the tranny. after giving the tranny a quick bead blast it looks really nice!

Well I have not got very far but I did finish my COP setup, order a catch can, and upgrade the speakers to some high end boston component setup.

My car came with those same boston speakers in the back :)

Is that a generic Ebay catch can?
