Been awhile since the last update so here goes a big one'
Had a gauge pod custom fitted to the dash of a mock up dash, which I then later had to remove my dash to install things. Removing the dash wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Photo is of the pod on the mock up dash
Polished the throttle body and engraved my initials into it. Not bad for my first try at polishing.
Got a new radiator to handle all the new power, too bad I have to buy a fan shroud now and to be safe got to get a new hoses just to be safe. BTW aftermarket radiators seem to not have bleeder valves so had to run to home depot to make my own.
Got the turbo back after it's been poked at
