You should get one of those flexible rad hoses like mark runs

How much longer until it's running?

Gotta make the lower ic pipe, exhaust dump, wg, and then fluids. I hope not much longer, but we will see.

You guys must remember, the turbo is on TOP, not down lower, where it's more prone to debris. Yea, A filter/intake would be a nice option, but as of right now, I dunno how that's going to be possible.

Want to see how prone any part of an engine bay is to debris? Just look under my hood sometime. Don't be dumb, protect your investment.

Hopefully you're revving to 10k+. The 61 kinda wanted to spool, the 67 sorta did by 6.5k,


...how's a 70 suppose to?

Me too. We shall see. If not, this will be the most expensive bonfire I've ever lit up.

Topmount manifolds are also usually horribly laggy.

You have to run a filter, they don't hurt power. It's going to suck in every piece of dirt in that engine bay. Your turbo will be destroyed and motor full of dirt in no time. Right behind the radiator is also a terrible place to suck in air, you should try to run a pipe(with a filter on the end of it) down into a fender well or atleast behind one of the headlights and pull the headlight at the track. 80 degree air is much better than 120 degree+ air.
