it ain't falling off. The lower bracket to the radiator secures any forward/backward movement, the top two secures any side/side movement, I bend them like i did so there was some play. I used a hump hose on the coldside and the 45° bend on the hotside will have play as well. like I said, it ain't falling off. I guess you never saw my previous bracket...you wont see them when i put my finishing panel over. do i care if it took me 3 minutes to make them? no. better than zip ties, which I have yet to use one yet

Looking good.
I used a Hyundai Accent X3 SOHC lower radiator hose on mine, the bends worked out sweet and clear the charge pipe by about an inch.
Just a thought if you need to replace the concertina one

i suck, cant get it running. dont have my old megasquirt map so that makes it difficult, idles fora bout 15 seconds on 2 cylinders, so i guess that's an accomplishment...it's getting there, and then driven straight to a muffler shop.

On a 1.6, the coilpack doesn't ground at all. There are three wires on the coilpack connector- one brings +12 into the (+) side of each coil, the other two are the individual (-) sides of the two coils going out to the active-low drivers on the ignitor, which is a separate unit mounted on the cold side of the engine compartment.

well, you can see I was trying both the COPs and stock coilpack. I just need to get my old map loaded and double check all my connections. I had the MS running the motor before i swapped them. So now I changed motors and injectors and didn't have my old map...It might be something stupid like i need new spark plugs, I may have forgot to push in an injector clip. I dunno.
scotch-brite padded it.
nope, other than it not running, no issues.

Hey Scott.
Two questions.
1. What is the Length and I.D. of the flex radiator hose you used?
2. How did you get your turbo on without notching your frame? Kinda hard to tell but your turbo isnt clocked straight down, is it? I cant get my turbo on without notching it seems :( unless you know a trick.

Actually my factory coils seems to work better at 2.5ms dwell than it did at 5.0 ms dwell. I got about 12 psi out of them before blow out with new plugs at stock gap (.044"?).

It looks like your manifold is smaller, probably because you have a 1.6.
As for the hose, well, the pics are down. So if you have that information somewhere, id appreciate it.
