I see more and more that these cars get bought by deployment money. I bought mine while I was still there, lol. Congrats on a safe return and great purchase. What are your plans?

nice, best of luck lol. the most important one to check out are the ones hooked to the oil injectors. mine were unhooked and chris from banzai let me know that was a big no no haha. the oil injectors are hard as hell to find cause they're buried under the upper intake manifold, but there should be two vacuum lines coming up almost out of nowhere and then join a y-joint before going to the intake between the air filter and turbo on your primary turbo
