Been a longtime since i have updated lots of random stuff done.
At this moment i just have to finish waste-gate dump and hook up oil supply/drain and a few other small items.
The weather here in Oregon has turned to s#@t and i only get to work on my truck for 45min each night which is the major reason i am a slow progress-er.
I will defintaly post videos of startup and a small drive if it doesn't blow up in the near future.
cheers
chris reinhard.

extension for the wastegate
going old skool got a repu:)-17.jpg

This is a cheap cx racing manifold i will upgrade later to something more functional i wouldn't recommend it to anyone the tubing is to large, wastegate tubes are terrible i spent maybe 2 hours grinding the poor transitions inside.

I needed to figure out a way to tap the front cover for the turbo oil drain.
I did not want to remove the engine since autumn is here which means it is always raining.
I came up with an idea to make my own extended tap tool by using a 24" 1/2" socket extension a 1/2npt tap and some 3/8 bar.
tap tool
