New oem valve cover gasket and CAS O ring is here. I have a spare valve cover I’m going to cut off the timing gear cover off. Still needs to have the PCV system to be ported and drilled for AN fittings.

New silicone coupler is here. Just needed to trim it a bit. Verified there’s no contact with the engine bay. Front turbo waterline is officially connected to the turbo and left some slack for engine movement.

Rear turbo waterline connected to the coolant reroute housing. Heater core waterlines have been slighted trimmed. As far as I know, the heater core ports aren’t directional. Thinking of bending the heater core metal return pipe slightly so I have greater clearance for the downpipe, and can have some space to make some sort of heat shield.

The tee on the coolant reroute feeds both the heater core and turbo?

Manifold and turbo mock mounted. Figured out I needed another odd silicone hose. It should be here Thursday.

Had to reclock the turbo again and hated drilling new holes for the wastegate bracket.

Hard to cut the mounting tab for the lower radiator pipe but it works! Just need to throw on some clamps.

The previous owner who welded this did it with their eyes closed 😂 I have grinded down some of the welds and will need to be re welded.
