Needs more turbo.

EDIT: How many quarts are you getting into your oil pan? I am working on mine now and it seems like I'll have to add wings to get to 5 quarts. I do say this oil pan will be the most difficult part of the swap. And why is your IAC way over there under the spark plug wires?

Indeed. I put a hole in one with the help of a loose bolt.

Other one is slowly shredding because... It's on my car.
