Thanks guys. The car will most likely be staying MB. I'm getting anxious to get her on the road so that's the easier route.
I spent the better part of 40 hours rewiring my harness. I got rid of a lot of useless crap and I got the new injector plugs soldered in. Here's a crappy phone pic of what it looked like during the rewiring.
I also got the piping a little bit closer. The clamps they sent me were the wrong size so I'm waiting for the correct size to come in.
I also ordered a block off plate kit from bonzai racing but unfortunately it went to the wrong address and now it's lost. Hopefully the post office will get it sorted out soon so I can get this thing going.

Thanks Corifto.
I started doing a little bit of busy work to kill time while I save up for my ecu. I removed the LIM and started installing block off plates.
While everything was out I took advantage of the opportunity to clean. A little bit of purple power and a toothbrush go a long way.
I also ordered a generic 3" v band dp to have a starting point for my setup.

Yeah worst case scenario I'll make a heat shield.
I have been doing some busy work on the car. First I had to clean up a bolt from one of the block off plates that was hitting the fuel rail. Then I had to add some washers to the rail since my injectors are so short.
I also started making my oil feed line. I used 3k psi 1/4 inch line with -4 fittings. Not as pretty as stainless braided but I like the look.
The way the hose is now will work but I think I'm going to swap out the banjo bolt with a 12x1.5 to 4an fitting and crimp a 90 degree fitting on the end of the hose.

I installed the rings. They go in the LIM. Worked like a charm. I can't thank you enough for that deal. We will be discussing the power fc really soon.
I've been working my tail off on this car. Last weekend I pulled off the ac compressor and bracket to delete the power steering so I cleaned all of those parts up. The downpipe was touching the LIM so today I am cutting off the t3 flange and clocking it a few degrees so I can have some clearance. I also did some research and decided I'm going to remove the ABS unit and sensors. Going to have to borrow my fiends hard line tool kit to make everything pretty.
I also jumped on a pretty good deal for a rotary werks throttle body. That should help with the response even if just a little.

Ok. I chopped the t3 flange off and rotated it. I'll find out tonight if that gives my dp enough clearance.
I was going to wrap it in black exhaust wrap but I think I'm going to have it ceramic coated instead.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to keep the progress as steady as I can. Right now the single turbo conversion is coming close to completion. The only major things I need now are the ecu, gauges, and my methanol kit. When I finish with the conversion I'm going to start changing out the suspension bushings and get her painted. If all goes well she'll be primer white and running by October.
