Yea it should be nice when it's done.

I got some more work done today, drivers side of the wire tuck is completely done.
Not much left to do on the passengers side.

Brake Calipers, Brackets, and Discs are all off and prepped for paint along with the heat shields.

Will be back at it tomorrow.

So I removed all the brake calipers to clean and paint them and I'm about to order ATE Super Blue to refill and bleed the brakes when I reinstall everything, I have a question though.

Is 1 Liter of Fluid enough to do the whole system? Or should I order 2?

Well I spoke with my rotary mechanic and said that it wont take more than one liter. If you are still concern buy 2 and I,ll make u a deal. I'll would appreciate if you do the same to mine since the 8 never had it done. I would of course pay for the can and labor. Let me know.

Thanks, If I was just bleeding the brakes I would probably just order one, but the Calipers were removed so everything was flushed out.

I can do that, you just want your brakes bled?

I'll text them, but I'd rather order two to be safe and get it done, than order one and find out I need more and have to wait for another Liter to get here.

Yea no problem, We'll have to figure out when we can do it, I'm trying to get my car put back together so it will probably be a couple weeks before I can do it.

Good, Got the manifold back and all the parts I ordered have come in.

Pulled the injectors last night, the P2 Injectors will be sent to KG Parts to be upgraded tomorrow.

Battery harness is all sleeved and back in the car.

I need to get some new studs for the manifold to turbine housing connection, I ordered two different sizes and because the turbo has to be spaced off the manifold neither will work, one is too short and the others are too long.

Progress is still being made...

Got the Airbox Tray cut out of aluminum just have to bring it down to be welded along with the canister setup.

Brakes are all re-installed, just have to get Chris back over here to help bleed them.

Got a bunch of wiring sleeved and organized, and relocated the Fuel Pump Resistor and MAP Sensor.

Ran the wires for the Battery under the car and temporarily connected power to everything to make sure there were no obvious problems and to be able to check the power source I used for the Gauges and Boost Controller.

Boost Controller and Gauges installed, also rewired the headunit/metra kit cause it was a tangled mess of wires.


Thanks for your help this weekend Chris.
