Installed all the 4an vacuum lines today. But extremepsi.com sent the wrong 90 adapter for the turbo.
But are overnighting the piece.
I'll take better pictures once the piece arrives so I can pull it out of the garage.
Also wife messaged me at work and said my ORTIX center vent pod arrived today. So that'LL probably be my weekend project. Hoping to put my boost and A/F gauge in the center.
If 1 gauge won't reach I'm contemplated using the passengerside pod for a safety cut off switch location for road racing

Well installed the aem oil temp gauge today. No matter where I put it the harness was at least 3 inches to short.
So I had to extend the sensor wires.
When it was all said and done the Guage only reads "- - - "
I didn't check it prior to extending the wires so I have no idea if the sensor is bad or if I ruined the harness, or what. But it powers on just fine.

Valve cover and intake pipe needed to be redone. I was going to just polish them. But the wife asked what it would look like painted the same as the car.
I had the paint so went ahead and painted and polished the lettering just to see. Still thinking polish will be the way I go. But for now.
Also did the tire pressure gauge clip, oil dipstick mod. Pretty slick little mod works great.

Well little update.
-new oem clutch slave cylinder
-DEI cool tape wraoped my FP intake.
-DEI cool tape wrapped my lower I/C pipe
-DEI cool pad wrapped the bottom of my oil pan where the down pipe goes.
-DEI header wrapped my down pipe.
-removed all the paint from my valve cover and intake (was shocked to find 5 different layers/colors of paint on the valvery cover, the bottom one being a royal pain in the ass to get off but persistence paid off) I didn't get as much time because of that, to do the quality polish I would normally have OCD labored over it.
I also got in a lower pressure spring for my oil filter housing. Just ran out of time to install it. My son had cub scouts this weekend.

Just for fun. Pictures of the 3 different phases of the engine bay.
1)black - original
2)red - wife wanted to see . And looked good but the valve cover amd intake were much brighter then the engine bay red and didn't look good as a whole.
3)polished - final
