Eventually I got sick of looking at 2 random blue couplers and went to napa and got some black ones for now. Eventually I'll probably get some real red ones.
Since my turbo is oil cooled only I had to plug the coolant lines. First I drilled and tapped the nipple on the thermostat housing and used a bolt with some rtv on the threads.
Second I had to plug the waterpipe. Went to CA Performance and they hooked me up with a 5/8 inverted flare and a plug.
While I had the waterpipe out I decided to paint it. You can also see the longer studs I'm using for the manifold spacer.
Also had to plug the oil feed from the head since I'll be feeding this turbo off the OFH.
I woke up this morning to 2 packages at my door. First being my FIC 1600's.
Installed
Second was my 2.5" 90 degree coupler to replace the nasty elbow that was welded on my turbo.
Then decided to mock up the LICP. It came up about an inch short, so I cut it and used a coupler to give me some more length. (Not ideal, but it works.)
And now that's where I sit. Still waiting on a fitting for my oil feed line, FP drain line on it's way, and my manifold to be done.
