Finally found the connections, the asshole previous owner tucked them all the way up to the top of the steering column behind wire harness'.

I had to become a contortionist to get under the dash. Im 6'2 228lbs broad shouldered former linebacker, I got stuck for a good 2 minutes before I could extricate myself.

So it looks like I might have to pick up new bolts and nuts for my up-pipe after I get it off tomorrow. Anyone know the size and a good place to get them, along with the plug sizes for my trunk lid as I am removing the spoiler.

So I get the old turbo off and go to put the new one on and find that the water line does not fit. It sits on the transmission, so now I have to wait for new water line. For now on I order EVERYTHING from Defined. Thinking of just sending my car to my friends shop and just have him do it.

It's always the small things that seem to hold us back from assembling our builds isn't it?

Too small personally, and I like the vf39 on the bugeyes. It rapes for auto-x. I have a blouch dominator 2.5 right now it's great for rallyx, but It's time to switch to a twin scroll 3076.
