Lol. I ended up backpurging. Fitment was tighter than expected. So after the 5th time cutting tacks and refitting. I wasn't going to take it apart again to put solar flux on.

Another day another item off the list. Oil cooler lines done. Very simple. Zip ties will be replaced with hose separators when the show up. I might add one more p-clamp when the engine is out, but I cant get the rivnut gun in right now.

The NVH is probably worse because the poly is smaller, but they don't require you to replace the engine plate. Which means they are 1.6 and 1.8 compatible (as you can see here, they started on my 1.6 and are now on my 1.8)

There is literally only one off the shelf bushing that works for this, and even it has to be modified. To make these fit so that they only replace the rubber part, requires you keep all the diameters very small.

Yeah, but again its a china sensor of unknown quality. I'm not horribly concerned about accuracy, but mystery metal melting into my turbo is not high up on my to-do list.

Just working on more small things. Got my reroute hose secured everywhere. I used to have it just laying over the shock tower, but I never really liked that. Its now secured in 3 places and shouldn't rub anywhere.
