Misc turbo stuff and preparations
Well, while im waiting for the turbo and the scavenge pump to arrive, along with my flanges to get machined, I recieved my 45 degree bend so i can go around the cyl head nicely with a soft pipe to minimize scraping the rad and valve cover. I routed the vaccum lines the way i wanted to, so they are not such a mess, and 4 lines T fitting into one was really a boost blown off vaccum nightmare waiting to happen in my head. So I flipped most of the hoses together and zip tied them down, then i attached the factory speed density sensor, and left one open for my GM 2 Bar Map sensor, and one more on the end running to my boost gauge. Boost gauge! i had one laying around that is off +1psi so i decided its a freebie why not mount it for now and get a liquid filled one later, zip tied that nice and routed it up around the dash, drilled a nice little hole and fed one of the clap screws in and washer and nutted it down, it is mounted very very securely and looks great i think. Here are some pics of the stuff i did today.
