Very sweet J. That turbo is huge. Great to see your back at it after what happen. Look forward to seeing more updates soon....Also that engine bay is going to look so much better after you paint it and clear it. Very glossy background with great parts on top..

Rebuilt the a few harensses today, and hooked up the freshly rebuild power and ground harnesses. The starter still works and engine cranks. Tomorrow, I'm hooking up the AEM EMS and going to crank the car up for the first time in 3 weeks
