BTW would you guys recommend cleaning the inside of the pan with dawn dish soap and warm water? Ive sprayed half a can of brake cleaner in it but there is a brown residue still on the walls of the pan(sludge i guess). With a high of 46~50 today I think ill get the pan cleaned finally so I can bolt it on tonight.
there is no harm in that. I actually ran mine through the dishwasher.Quote:

Torqued down heads with the A1 studs and started on my wastegate dumps....

Unfortunately, I think final fitment will have to take place in the car, so that I can avoid all obstacles (subframe, subframe connector, axle, downpipe, etc). It should be good where it is, but want to get it below car and dump back towards rear. Read quite a few instances where dumping in engine bay dillutes o2 content so much that you can see drops of up to 100hp on a dyno (20-50 more common.) Of course, the purpose of doing this is to reduce back pressure post turbo, so I keep turbo more efficient and free up hp!
Combined with my modded downpipe (3.5" to 4" vband, from 3") back pressure post turbo should be as minimal as I can get with this setup and still run an exhaust. The rest of the exhaust will be 4" aluminum, which I connected to downpipe with vband.

Crap, wish I had seen this..Mineral spirits and gasoline both do fantastic jobs of dissolving old oil sludge. To clean some of my parts up before paint or similar, I used mineral spirits (till I ran out, then used a bit of gas) and let it sit for a couple minutes, then hit it briefly with a stiff bristled brush, and then washed several times with dish detergent and water. As Gump pointed out, an application of oil (or immediate painting) is required to prevent rust.Quote:

Thanks:). Going to be a lot of fiddling in the car to make it fit which is disappointing. Much easier to do out of the car. I'll also want to fire it up as soon as engine makes it back in the car instead of more fabbing:D
Front Wastegate complete. Less room than I thought. Should fit.....

Just need to trim off the bottom but a little mishap with the angle grinder/cutoff wheel ended with a cut powercord so I called it a night:redface-new: Haven't decided if I'm going to bring it back under pan and along downpipe a little or just cut it off.

Very nice dude, very nice
Eric...its gonna take a magician to fit that thing into the engine bay...GOOD LUCK...you're gonna need it! :D
Not worried about the front. It doesn't sit any further forward than it did before and I had things to reference for measurements. Rear is the concern. I will make the rear fit, it's just a lot of work when it's already in the car and there was no way to figure out all the obstacles on the stand.
