the turbo is going to love the little pieces of metal from drilling the EGT... but that's the exhaust side...so it wouldn't matter
The paintjob looks good! I hope that wasn't today's paper...it would have all the sales on it

Looks Great Jeff, I like the blk but think White would have looked real good aswell. If you paint yout roof blk and go to shows and remove the hood than it would look sick with the blk roof and blk engine bay....

That is the next plan after he gets some minor imperfections out of the roof.
