What did you do today to your 3/S?

Went outside to rip apart the VR4 the other day with the intention of tracking down a clutch line leak. Popped the hood and instantly thought to myself "Nope, not today!" and went right back inside the house.

Spun up a couple oversize knobs for some actual control-

I would love to go public with that but I really think it best to wait ;)

I finally got my powder-coating system up & running, so now I can finally begin to put parts back on the car (& probably take off some more crappy-looking things to powder-coat, haha)!! I also received a replacement thermostat housing cover to replace mine that had a big factory defect that kinda pissed me off. Oh, & I finished off the rear turbocharger, so it's officially ready to go back onto the car. :Clap: Now for some pics...

Looks like you PCed the wastegates. Did you disassemble them before hand? Or test them afterwards to make sure there was no damage from the heat? Thought about doing mine when I had a PCing set up, but decided not to because I was worried about damaging the diaphragm inside.

That's actually just spray paint...I would have liked to have PC'ed them, but I didn't think the diaphragm would appreciate the heat.

Ok good, I was concerned for your wastegates too LOL

And Familyman, what is your set up now? I thought after you blew up the 6G74 your car was going to sit for a while (or am I confusing you with someone else?)
