As long as my MAF arrives by Friday, I'll be tearing into the passenger side of the engine bay and throwing in my latest sacrifice to the mod god. 2871R elim with all the supporting crap.

Keep in mind I've done one turbo already, any tips before I start sacrificing blood and skin?

 

take lots of pix to share

 

Let me know if this is a go and I'll come over and lend some blood to the BT gods :P

 

Sounds like a plan. I just have to grab a tarp since it may rain tomorrow and Saturday. What kind of beer?

 

no drinkin for me, Diet coke is a hard as i get now.

 

Sounds more like a liquor job after my experience with arif's 2871R.

 

I support the idea of liquor during this experience. I think it could only help things, maybe get an extra 30+ hp

 

and make sure that your bong is packed tight so that you can calm down when the fitment issues **** you off entirely. Did you get the atp manifold?

 

What were the specific problems you ran into? I'd also like to know how you guys fixed them. I remember some stuff about nuts and bolts not fitting correctly with the turbo and manifold.

 

Yes, I also got some longer head to manifold studs.
