Bullshit, we'll still have newbs saying "I searched but couldn't find anything" Then we'll link them 9k's thread, then they'll say "I read 9krpmxr8's thread but i got lost."

Between yesterday and today I finally caught up to the end of this thread. I really thought it would have been completed and then some when I first started reading.

Really hope everything goes smoothly for you this weekend! And I seriously hope you get some grace and patience for the 2k miles of break in you have waiting for you on the other side. If you get impatient you can drive up here to Charlotte and maybe kill off those miles.

Are you working on it tomorrow? If you are, I might stop by to lend a hand/watch if I'm free.

That's amazing.

Though I don't really see how it is relevant to the thread. No one here is making/using a custom billet aluminum compressor wheel.

It involves turbos? lol

I didn't feel like starting another thread and figured enough people interested would see it here... plus it could distract people from the slow progress.

Zip ties were just holding things up since I was working solo until 8 Maniac got there. All in all the plumbing is situated and damn those couplers fit tight. The original owner cut the pipe that attaches to the TB but Teamrx8 sent me the right pipe size to make up for it so I just have to get that cut to get it all buttoned up.

Man, one thing I know is that you can never have enough tools.
