Pump install is done.
Picking up turbo, manifold and downpipe tomorrow from MAP. They just got back from being all ported/coated. Also they have a bunch of OEM stuff that has gone missing through switching setups so much, oil feed line, return line, water feed, return etc and a bunch of gaskets and banjo bolts and what not.
I am out of town this weekend for memorial day but I am hoping the next weekend I will get to doing the install, maybe at least get the intake mani/tb and exhaust stuff buttoned up.
Hopefully start tuning by the 2nd week in June.
PS. If anyone is bored and wants to help get the x off murlostands you are welcome to come :) I'll be grilling out and beers/booze is always provided. Targeting Saturday 31st right now. Maybe start at 11am or so.

I Understand exactly, however it feels more like the end with the never ending issues or pennies being thrown at it.

I think you are right sir.
If anything, if I get bored, I think it will be time to part ways with the car and move onto something v8 powered.

I thought they did all that stuff in house, do they send it out now?
Also, I'm confused on "they" are missing stuff, are those parts you need to source yet?
Good luck getting it back together and tuned. And the grass is always greener, you'll find downsides to every platform :)

The porting is in house, the coating is outsourced.
Which missing stuff do you mean? I am confused now on your confusion Lol.

As soon as my car is tuned and ready for racing I have a potential buyer coming to take a look at my car.

Sorry for the crappy photo. Made great progress today. I got my fuel pump finally actually into the car and rewired that (hardwired) and cleaned up the routing etc. Also got all the intake side stuff on, mani, tb and fuel system etc. Just need to order some nuts/bolts and few soft lines and hopefully one more install session and we will be starting the evo!
